Steep Canyon Rangers

Date: 12 Feb 2010 to 12 Feb 2010 Time: 8 p.m. Location: Bijou Theatre

From Asheville, North Carolina, the Steep Canyon Rangers have built a reputation as one of the best bluegrass units extant. Before being nominated for 2 International Bluegrass Music awards in 2008 (including Album of the Year, “Lovin’ Pretty Women), the Rangers were named ‘Emerging Artist of the Year’ in 2006 at the IBMA awards ceremony in Nashville, TN. They’re regularly featured on the Grand Ole Opry, as well as major U.S. Bluegrass and Americana music festivals such as MerleFest, Telluride, Grey Fox, DelFest and RockyGrass. They also recently completed a brief tour with banjoist-comedian Steve Martin. The band continues to bring Bluegrass to music-lovers worldwide at festivals in Sweden, Ireland, Germany and Canada. The group can also be found regularly at Rock & Roll venues on the U.S. jam-band circuit.
