Colonial Theatre concert to benefit Meals on Wheels

Bluegrass group Balsam Range will feature award-winning Nashville musician and songwriter John Wiggins in the first show of its Winter Concert Series at the Colonial Theatre in Canton at 7:30 p.m. on Dec. 3.

Wiggins is a Haywood County native who co-wrote a recent No. 1 country hit for Blake Shelton “Who Are You When I’m Not Looking?” and record breaking seller “Tequila Makes Her Clothes Fall Off” recorded by Joe Nichols. Balsam Range is a Haywood County-based band that recently won the International Bluegrass Music Award’s song of the year for “Trains I Missed.”

The performances is part of a fundraising “Donation Challenge” event to benefit the Haywood County Meals on Wheels program. The artists have each made a donation to start the support. Higher donation levels include business promotion and a “Meet and Greet” with the artists backstage.

General public tickets are now available for $25 through the Balsam Range website: www.balsamrange.com.  For higher donation level information, contact Jeanne Naber, Meals on Wheels Program Coordinator, at 828.356.2442 or This email address is being protected from spambots.
