Sunset Hollow Gospel Grass

Sunset Hollow Gospel Grass - This gospel group of three comes to the Smyth County Jam from Grundy, Virginia. They are relatives - Noland and Alicia Boyd (husband and wife) and Altisa Blankenship who is Noland's sister. Most of their material is written by one or the other of the three. Noland plays guitar and all of the group sing. He says he is learning to play banjo too. The Boyd's have two children who are grown. Noland works as a bulldozer operator for Russell Fork Logging. They like all sorts of music but prefer mainly bluegrass.
