Brandy Miller - This very young lady is an amazing banjo player. She comes to the Smyth County Jam from West Jefferson, North Carolina. Brandy started out taking lessons on the banjo when she was six years old; she is now at the ripe old age of fourteen, so she has been playing over half of her life! Brandy says she plays some on other instruments; however, the banjo is her forte at the moment. She says a career in music is not out of the question, when she finishes school. At any rate, she has plenty of time to decide. Brandy likes the music of Earl Scruggs as well as giving credit to her music teacher; Steve Lewis, who has taught her since she began.
