Whitney Perkins - Whitney Perkins comes to the Smyth County Jam from Johnson City, Tennessee. Her home is in Chesterfield, Virginia, however. Currently she is enrolled in the Bluegrass Program at East Tennessee State University. Whitney is a dobro player; she says she has been playing about two years. It is very seldom we see a girl dobro player, which makes her that much more interesting! Whitney is taking five bluegrass classes and three other subjects such as English, Math etc. This is her first year at ETSU. She enjoys hunting and fishing when she has time to partake in these activities. Whitney says she admires the music of Josh Graves very much. She is partial to any songs/tunes by Lester Flatt and Earl Scruggs. The Smyth County Jam invites Whitney back to play for us anytime she can come.
