With roots deep in the mountains of Western North Carolina, Balsam Range has become one of the most celebrated acts in modern bluegrass. Formed in 2007 from a humble kitchen jam session, the group has since earned 13 IBMA Awards, including multiple wins for Entertainer of the Year, Album of the Year, and Vocal Group of the Year. Known for their rich harmonies, heartfelt songwriting, and electrifying musicianship, Balsam Range has headlined major festivals across the country, performed multiple times at the Grand Ole Opry, and released 14 acclaimed albums. In 2025, they welcomed special guest Don Rigsby, a bluegrass legend in his own right, whose high-lonesome tenor vocals and fiddle bring a fresh dynamic to the band’s signature sound. Whether on a grand stage or in a backwoods gathering, Balsam Range continues to do what they do best: connect deeply with audiences through the timeless magic of live bluegrass music.
