Bluegrass and acoustic music group Balsam Range were founded in 2007 in Haywood County, North Carolina. Featuring many notable players, the band went on to receive multiple awards and honors. Their debut album, Marching Home, featured six Bill Monroe songs and seven original compositions, and their following records, 2009's Last Train to Kitty Hawk and 2010's Trains I Missed, further added to their growing reputation. But it was 2013's Papertown that really solidified their standing in the bluegrass community. In 2016 they released their sixth record, Mountain Voodoo, which went on to be nominated for three IBMAs. ~ Bekki Bemrose
