Spring Tour/ News and updates
We are playing a few brand new (to us) festivals, and are tickled to be returning to some of our favorites, too.
Happy March!
The warmer weather is a nice reminder that festival season is right around the corner! We are playing a few brand new (to us) festivals, and are tickled to be returning to some of our favorites, too. Full tour and ticket links are updated right here on the TOUR PAGE. We've enjoyed quite a few sell-out shows all over the country this winter! We are truly thankful for each of you that come out to see us. It sounds cliché, but you're the reason we are able to make this music that we love so dearly! So thank YOU!
was gracious enough to take time out of her rock-star photography schedule to come see some bluegrass at
in Georgia for our sold out show last week! Hop joined us on a few tunes too! Can you tell we have fun with him?
Check her out, she does amazing work!
Darren has been hard at work this winter writing and recording his first all instrumental mandolin record! This is something he has wanted to do for a while, and he is pretty excited about it! If you follow him on Facebook, (bless your heart) you've probably seen the updates from him as the project has progressed. Be on the look out for that dandy to release soon!
We are excited to announce that Balsam Range will also be putting out a new project in 2018, a collection of some of our favorite BR songs in a collaboration with the Atlanta Pops Orchestra! Those of you that have attended the Balsam Range Art Of Music Festival, have heard the Pops ensemble and Balsam Range together live. We think it's a great unique combination, so we've joined forces once again to put out an album together! Lots more info on this as it comes together. *Special shout out to our pal, Hop (John Driskell Hopkins) for recording this project with us in his amazing studio, Brighter Shade Studios in Atlanta, GA.
March and April dates. See y'all on the road soon!Buddy, Marc, Tim, Darren and Caleb

Balsam Range 10 Year Anniversary Celebration!
On Saturday, March 4 we gathered at the Colonial Theatre in Canton, NC to celebrate our tenth year of playing music together...our bandiversary! What a night it was. We did songs from each of our six albums, what we could remember anyway! It was so gratifying to see so many people in the crowd that have been with us the entire ten years. Family and friends that mean so much to us. Also, new friends that have come on board with us along the way. It was a great night of stories and songs.
We have a lot of people to thank for the fact that we are still going after a decade of music.
-Mickey Gamble and our Mountain Home family for believing in our band even before we had a name for it.
-Mike Drudge at Class Act Entertainment for helping us get our music across the country, and soon, the world.
-John Holder, our sound engineer, for unparalleled excellence.
-Mandy Tenery, our tour manager, for keeping up with where we are supposed to be!
Most importantly, our wives. Hope, Carla, Anita, Jennifer, and Rachel. Thank you for having the strength to manage everything while we are away. None of these things would have happened without you!
To our kids, we love you all so much! Talking to you is the best part of any trip.
Thank you to all of you that come to hear us, buy our music, and play us on your stations. We hope that it has been worth it for you. It sure has been for us!
God bless,
Balsam Range
We hope you enjoy this fun mini-documentary about the aforementioned evening created by our friend, Becky Seymour with Shmeckie Media.
