David Blevins is from Winston-Salem, in western North Carolina. His cross-picking and flat-picking provides the smooth background and counterpoint to finger-picking that is vitally needed to present this style of music. During college, David played in the finals at Union Grove when that event was the largest festival of its type in the country. David has rediscovered his interest and ability on guitar more recently and has been accompanying Larry since 1994.

David graduated from Elon College and later attended NC State. He is a consulting engineer in Raleigh, NC.
