Bil Lepp and Balsam Range in concert

7:30 p.m. Saturday, July 5

Prepare for a captivating evening at Lake Junaluska’s historic Stuart Auditorium, where the art of storytelling meets the beauty of bluegrass.

Bil Lepp, a five-time champion of the West Virginia Liars’ Contest and a favorite on the History Channel's Man vs. History, will open the show with his engaging and humorous tales. Lepp's stories, celebrated for their wit and universal themes, are sure to delight audiences of all ages. 

Following Lepp, the excitement will continue with Balsam Range, one of the most decorated bluegrass groups in the genre. With numerous International Bluegrass Music Association (IBMA) awards, including "Entertainer of the Year" and "Album of the Year,” Balsam Range delivers performances that showcase its exceptional talent and deep connection to bluegrass traditions. 

Adding to the musical richness of the evening is Kentucky native Don Rigsby on fiddle and vocals, whose "high lonesome sound" will beautifully complement Balsam Range's set. 

Join us at Lake Junaluska for a night filled with laughter, heartfelt music and the joy of shared experience. This is a unique opportunity to enjoy top-tier entertainment in a beautiful and inspiring setting.
