SUMMARY:Balsam Range
DESCRIPTION:Closing in on 20 years together\, bluegrass powerhouse Balsam Range continues charging headlong toward the horizon. Heading into 2026\, the group—Caleb Smith (guitar\, vocals)\, Tim Surrett (bass\, dobro\, vocals)\, Alan Bibey (mandolin\, vocals)\, and Marc Pruett (banjo)—is preparing to release new music while once again hitting the road\, bringing their sound to both majestic theaters and backwoods gatherings alike—all in the name of bluegrass music.\nIn 2026\, the band also welcomes Stephen Hudson to many shows across the country. On fiddle and vocals\, Hudson brings fresh energy while honoring the traditional “high lonesome sound\,” making him a natural fit within the group’s signature style.\nFormed in 2007 by happenstance during an informal kitchen jam in the mountains of Western North Carolina\, Balsam Range quickly evolved from friends picking tunes into one of the most celebrated bands in modern bluegrass. Since then\, they’ve become one of the genre’s most decorated acts\, earning multiple International Bluegrass Music Association (IBMA) 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).\nBy the numbers\, Balsam Range has released 14 albums and scored numerous No. 1 singles on the bluegrass charts. Yet beyond the accolades and miles traveled\, what matters most remains unchanged from that very first performance—genuinely connecting with an audience through the timeless\, shared experience of live music. \nEvent Location: 502 E Lamar Alexander Pkwy\, Maryville\, TN\, United States\, Tennessee 37804

SUMMARY:Steep Canyon Rangers
DESCRIPTION:Steep Canyon Rangers arrive at a moment of renewal and reaffirmation with Next Act\, their 15th studio album set to be released May 22\, 2026. The record represents a conscious tightening of focus: a return to the bluegrass foundations that first bound the band together\, approached with the confidence and emotional range earned through years of collective evolution. It is an affirmation that bluegrass still contains endless expressive possibility. Next Act finds the Rangers sounding deeply at home in their own musical language\, drawing strength from tradition while continuing to write new chapters within it.\nFormed in North Carolina and shaped equally by the Appalachian Mountains and the Piedmont\, Steep Canyon Rangers have long occupied a singular space in American roots music. From their earliest recordings\, the band demonstrated an unusual ability to honor traditional bluegrass forms while allowing contemporary songwriting\, literary influence\, and regional storytelling to seep naturally into the music. Over time\, this balance earned them both bluegrass credibility and broader Americana acclaim\, culminating in a Best Bluegrass Album GRAMMY Award for 2013’s Nobody Knows You\, additional nominations for Rare Bird Alert (2012) and North Carolina Songbook (2020)\, and an induction into the North Carolina Music Hall of Fame.\nIn recent years\, as their audience expanded and their songwriting reach grew wider\, the Rangers began to feel a pull back toward the elemental forces that shaped them: acoustic instruments speaking clearly\, songs built for ensemble interplay\, and stories grounded in lived experience and regional memory. Next Act emerges from that impulse.\nSteep Canyon Rangers is made up of Graham Sharp on banjo and vocals\, Mike Guggino on mandolin/mandola and vocals\, Aaron Burdett on guitar and vocals\, Nicky Sanders on fiddle and vocals\, Mike Ashworth on drums\, dobro\, percussion and vocals\, and Barrett Smith on bass\, guitar\, and vocals. \nEvent Location: 502 E Lamar Alexander Pkwy\, Maryville\, TN\, United States\, Tennessee 37804
