Cody Gravley - Cody Gravley comes from up in Wythe County to the Smyth County Jam. His home is in Max Meadows, quite a drive down the interstate. Cody impresses us with not only his youth; he is fourteen, but his excellent fiddling. He says he has only been playing fiddle about eight months. If this is any indication of things to come he will do well to keep at it. When asked who he admired in music, he promptly said "Gid Tanner and the Skillet Lickers!"- a very popular old time band from the late twenties and early thirties. Even some of the older generation would not know that name.! Cody is in an old time band called "White Noise." It will be interesting to see and hear the entire band at some point in time. Members of the White Noise band are: Cody Gravley - fiddle, Jerry Atwell - bass, Coy Ryan - banjo, Jamie Spicer -guitar and Aaron (last name unknown) mandolin.
