Smyth County Jam Bios

Sam Bolt

Sam Bolt (Deceased) - Sam along with his twin brother Dan and Dan's wife Stacie 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. Sam plays fiddle and mandolin. Both sing very well. Sam has two children. Sam says their mother plays guitar and sings like an angel. Their maternal grandfather played fiddle for Grandpa Jones in years past. Between the three of them they make an outstanding group. Sam's favorite artist is Ricky Scaggs. 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.
