BALSAM RANGE
“When it Comes to Loving You”
DESCRIPTION:
Balsam Range’s “When It Comes To Loving You”, their first song since 2023, features their revamped lineup which signals a strong through-line in their signature sound and introduces a new collaborator in Don Rigsby. When Notes guitarist and lead vocalist Caleb Smith first heard Daniel Salyer’s demo of “When It Comes To Loving You”, he knew it would make a great Balsam Range song. With a cool groove and cohesive lyrics, the band hopes everyone enjoys it as much as they did creating it.
