WEDDINGS

Darren Nicholson is a bluegrass and Americana musician based in Haywood County in the mountains of western North Carolina. A GRAMMY®-nominee and recipient of multiple International Bluegrass Music Association Awards, Darren has appeared countless times on WSM’s Grand Ole Opry, at the Ryman Auditorium, CMT, GAC, and many of the world’s most famous venues and networks. Darren is also renowned as a solo artist, session musician, and songwriter. After concluding a 15-year tenure as a founding member of award-winning bluegrass quintet, Balsam Range, Darren is taking the next step forward and releasing music of his own.

“Darren Nicholson’s music put our wedding over the top. We see the pictures of attendees dancing and laughing and it was a beautiful wedding. But all these years later people still talk about the amazing musical experience with Darren and his band. You can have a party but you cannot have a REAL party without live music!”

​

- Joseph and Nikki Owens (Waynesville North Carolina)
