Smyth County Jam Bios

Dan Bolt

Dan Bolt - Dan along with his wife Stacie and his twin brother Sam hail from Willis, VA (Floyd County) and make up the Bolt Brother's Band. The entire band is very personable and approachable. They are self-employed, working together at manufacturing bio-diesel fuel. Being twins in the best sense of the word; they play one guitar at the same time. We at the Smyth County Jam are pleased and honored to have them come to our stage at any time. Dan plays guitar and mandolin. Both sing very well. He and Stacie have one daughter and two sons. Their maternal grandfather played fiddle for Grandpa Jones in years past. Between the three of them they make an outstanding group. Two artists Dan likes are Bill Monroe and Doyle Lawson. In their late teens and into their late twenties they travelled all over the country as a gospel band. They have played music for twenty years. Before they began to slow down to raise their children, they wore out two tour buses. The Bolt twins were the first bluegrass band from the USA to tour Newfoundland, Canada.
