Outdoor Concert: Balsam Range

Join Jones von Drehle for live music at its performance venue: the Stage @ Jones von Drehle.

Balsam Range is Buddy Melton (fiddle, lead and tenor vocals); Darren Nicholson (mandolin, octave mandolin, lead vocals, baritone and low tenor vocals); Dr. Marc Pruett (banjo); Tim Surrett (bass, dobro, baritone and lead vocals); and Caleb Smith (guitar, lead & baritone vocals). The five original members are all acoustic musicians and singers from Western North Carolina. They thoughtfully and respectfully adopted the name of a majestic range of mountains that surrounds part of their home county, Haywood, where the Great Smoky Mountains meet the Blue Ridge, known as Great Balsam Range.

The 2018 International Bluegrass Music Association’s Entertainer of the Year, Balsam Range has become one of the genre’s most award-winning acts. Since forming in 2007, the group has garnered 13 IBMA awards on the heels of eight critically acclaimed albums. Balsam Range leaves audiences spellbound. The group has headlined major festivals from coast to coast, sold out venues across the nation and made multiple appearances on the "Grand Ole Opry."
