Bluegrass fiddler Jordan Blevins from Marion, Virginia joins the great traditional bluegrass band, Rich In Tradition.

Jordon, just as the rest of the group, comes from a musical family with a rich heritage in bluegrass music. His father has played the guitar since age 13 and he also has two uncles who play mandolin.

Starting with the upright bass at the Monday night jams at Carson Cooper's music store on Main Street in Marion, Jordon learned as much as he could from some pretty good pickers who were anxious to teach a young eager kid some tricks. He joined his father's band, the Virginia Mountain Boys, at age 15. When he turned 18, he became interested in the fiddle and shortly after was faced with the choice of trying out for the Virginia Tech baseball team or playing fiddle with the popular band, Fescue. His love of music steered him to Fescue and he has never looked back, continuing to hone his skills on the fiddle.

Rounding out the roster for Rich In Tradition, Jordon saya that he already feels at home with this group. He says, "I'm very pleased to be a part of Rich In Tradition and look forward to a long and successful musical career with them. They are a great bunch of guys and great musicians".
