Details about Balsam Range
Based in Haywood County, North Carolina, Balsam Range consists of five
men native to this region “where the Smokies meet the Blue Ridge.”
Bluegrass says a lot of what this band is about, but equally important
are the aspects of Gospel and Country Music. All the fellows in the
band grew up in the rich musical heritage of the Appalachian South,
surrounded by culture and heritage steeped in traditions of The Grand
Ole Opry…as well as the important influences of the Scotch-Irish
settlers of the Southern Mountains, English ballads, Western songs…and
tunes written by the band members themselves.
Band Members
Marc Pruett (Banjo)
Caleb Smith (Guitar)
Darren Nicholson (Mandolin)
Tim Surrett (Bass)
Buddy Melton (Fiddle)
