“There is a reason that Balsam Range is at the top of the Bluegrass world — they have the talent and charisma required to move an entire audience.”— Cultural Voice of North Carolina

Balsam Range is a traditional bluegrass band from western North Carolina. One of the genre’s most award-winning bands, the group takes its name from the majestic Great Balsam Mountains, located at the intersection of the Blue Ridge and Smokies. Five virtuoso musicians sing and play the fiddle, banjo, mandolin, upright bass, dobro, and guitar to create a lively, infectious sound filled with tight harmonies and upbeat melodies. The group’s first UGA Presents performance includes a mix of well-known hits and holiday favorites.
