Daniel Lowe - Daniel Lowe handles the five-string banjo very well. He hails from Speedwell and is the father of Adam Lowe. Daniel says he has been playing around thirty years. He also plays guitar and mandolin. One of his grandfathers was well known in Tazewell County, VA for his mandolin playing. Daniel was born and raised in Tazewell County. He has just the one child, Adam, who is a help to him at the restaurant, the "Back in Time Diner" at Rural Retreat. They have music at the diner as well as food. Daniel likes the music of Earl Scruggs and Blue Highway. We hope Daniel will come back to the Smyth County Jam when he gets a chance.
