Rooted in harmony-driven Americana, "Balsam Mountain" was written for a mountain community that feels like family. It's a song about slowing down, finding belonging, and the kind of places that leave a mark on your soul.

"Balsam Mountain" was recorded in Nashville, but it couldn't have been made without the people who call these mountains home. The track features local banjo player Seth Rhinehart of White Water Bluegrass Co., and the live video below — filmed right at Balsam Mountain Preserve — brings the full picture to life with Seth on banjo and the highly acclaimed Jamie Soesbee on upright bass.

Inspired by our life in Western North Carolina and the community of Balsam Mountain Preserve, we hope this song finds you wherever you are — and maybe calls you to the mountains this summer. These communities are resilient and deeply loved, and as Western North Carolina continues to recover from the devastating impact of Hurricane Helene, your presence here means everything. Come visit. We'd love to have you.
