SUMMARY:Balsam Range
DESCRIPTION:Two-time IBMA Entertainer of the Year\, Balsam Range brings twenty years of road-tested bluegrass: mountain music\, played by mountain musicians\, for an audience ready to stomp along. \nParking: A $15 valet parking fee applies at the Ritz-Carlton and is not included in your ticket price. This fee will be paid on-site via credit card. A cash bar will be available.  \nBalsam Range\nBalsam Range formed in 2007 out of an informal kitchen jam in the mountains of Western North Carolina\, and the band took its name from the range that surrounds part of their home county of Haywood\, where the Great Smoky Mountains meet the Blue Ridge. Since then they’ve become one of modern bluegrass’s most decorated acts\, with multiple International Bluegrass Music Association honors including Entertainer of the Year (2014\, 2018)\, Album of the Year (2013\, 2017)\, Song of the Year (2011\, 2015)\, Vocal Group of the Year (2014\, 2015)\, Male Vocalist of the Year (2014\, 2018)\, and Bass Player of the Year (2018). The band has released 14 albums and scored numerous No. 1 singles on the bluegrass charts. \nThe band is Dr. Marc Pruett (banjo)\, Alan Bibey (mandolin\, vocals)\, Tim Surrett (bass\, dobro\, baritone and lead vocals)\, and Caleb Smith (guitar\, lead and baritone vocals) — all acoustic musicians and singers from western North Carolina. Joining the band on 2026 dates is Stephen Hudson (fiddle\, vocals)\, who brings fresh energy on fiddle while honoring the traditional “high lonesome sound\,” a natural fit within the group’s style. \nClosing in on 20 years together\, Balsam Range is heading into 2026 preparing to release new music while once again hitting the road\, bringing their sound to both majestic theaters and backwoods gatherings. Beyond the accolades and miles traveled\, what matters most remains unchanged from their very first performance: genuinely connecting with an audience through the shared experience of live music. \n
