A fiery bluegrass mandolinist and cofounder of the band Balsam Range, an introspective and compassionate songwriter, a leader in Appalachian Americana music… It’s no wonder Darren Nicholson is one of our absolute favorite regional musicians. He delivers music that’s good for the soul. “That’s all I want,” says Darren. “I want to be a positive part of other people’s lives with music, you know? I want to be an ambassador to roots music – tip my hat to the past while looking forward at the same time.”
