Travis Houlk - Travis is a native son of Chilhowie, VA. He is currently a student at ETSU, majoring in advertising and minoring in bluegrass music ! The Smyth County Jam welcomes Travis to our Monday night gathering, and hope he will come back often. Travis says he used to play bass, but has gone on to play dobro in recent times, and he does it quite well! He was in a family gospel band at one time, with his sister, brother, father, mother and sister-in-law, going by the name of The Houck Family Band. Travis says he admires and respects all who play music. He says he likes the style of Josh Graves and has a dobro signed by Graves.
