Balsam Range’s song “Santa Barbara” has reached the top of the Bluegrass radio charts, claiming the No. 1 spot on the July monthly chart and on the weekly chart for two weeks in a row.
“So excited to see ‘Santa Barbara’ on the top of the charts. It all starts with the song and we have been blessed with great songs and songwriters,” says award-winning vocalist Buddy Melton, who sings this song. “Thanks to everyone for supporting our music and to Adam Wright for writing a great tune.”
The up-tempo bluegrass song features skillful fiddle solos from Buddy Melton, mandolinist Darren Nicholson, Caleb Smith (guitar, harmony vocals) and banjo maestro Marc Pruett supported by Tim Surrett (bass, harmony vocals).
