Balsam Range, a renowned bluegrass band across the region, will play Sylva’s Concerts on the Creek series at 7:30 p.m. on Friday, August 5, at Bridge Park in downtown Sylva.

Members of the sought-after five-piece band hail from Haywood and Jackson counties. Since forming in 2007, Balsam Range has produced three albums and was nominated for emerging artist of the year by the International Bluegrass Music Association in 2010.

Their sound is influenced by the traditions of the Appalachian Mountains and their hard-driving bluegrass music includes vestiges of other genres, including Americana, roots, blues, jazz and gospel.
