Buddy Melton back on stage with Balsam Range

Balsam Range fiddler Buddy Melton made his return to the stage on Saturday (4/7) in Canton, NC following a freak accident last month that required facial reconstruction surgery.

His recovery has been both rapid and remarkable, and the band was delighted to see him back with them on stage again.

Here’s video of his return.
