The Steep Canyon Rangers have joined iconic comedian, Steve Martin on his sophomore album release entitled Rare Bird Alert.
Bringing bluegrass music to new audiences, SCR continue their meteoric rise as passionate ambassadors for the bluegrass music they love. With Martin, SCR played for more people than any other bluegrass band in 2010. This year will be even bigger, as the group prepares a nationwide tour with Martin to support their collaborative project.
When Martin, an accomplished banjo player and songwriter, handpicked SCR to tour and record with him last year, they jumped at the chance.
Serendipity has made a better match than any bluegrass computer dating service – Steve Martin.
With ‘Rare Bird Alert’, Martin and Steep Canyon Rangers have created an album filled with the traditional bluegrass sound, bursting at the seams with banjo, fiddle and lyrics that are both fun and reflective – Lotos Nile Media.
After a year jam-packed with tour dates, including Carnegie Hall, and headlining festivals such as Bonnaroo, Merlefest, New Orleans Jazzfest, Newport Folk Festival, Martin helped SCR introduce bluegrass to millions of who may have been hearing it for the first time and SCR show no sign of stopping.
