Since their formation in 2007, Balsam Range has been a dominant force in bluegrass music, winning numerous IBMA awards including Vocal Group of the Year in 2014. Named for the mountain range surrounding their home area of Haywood County, North Carolina, the band has produced numerous acclaimed albums featuring the mix of traditional stylings and modern sensibilities for which they are known.
The Boys take the stage Saturday at 2:00 p.m. These southwest Virginia natives mix old-time mountain influences with modern styles.
The Church Sisters' mesmerizing music starts at 4:00 p.m. Originally from Dickinson County, VA, their roots extend through Bluegrass and Gospel.
At 6:00 p.m., two-time IBMA award winner Volume Five performs, sharing their bluegrass sound that has earned them critical acclaim from media, radio, and their peers.
Russell Moore & IIIrd Tyme Out features one of the greatest singers in bluegrass music history – Russell has been awarded “Male Vocalist of the Year” by the International Bluegrass Music Association an unprecedented five times. Russell honed his skills performing for 6 years with Doyle Lawson & Quicksilver and helped formed IIIrd Tyme Out in 1991. The band has a knack for injecting great variety into their music, so even though it’s solid bluegrass, it’s always fresh sounding. Great singing has also been the hallmark of the entire band, garnering them several “Vocal Group of the Year” awards. After more than 25 years in bluegrass and dozens of acclaimed recordings, Russell Moore & IIIrd Tyme Out remains one of the finest groups in the genre.
