Steep Canyon Rangers and Steve Martin Scheduled to Appear on Prairie Home Companion
Fresh off playing sold out shows together at Club Nokia in Los Angeles and the Rubin Museum of Art in New York City, The Steep Canyon Rangers have announced another performance with multi-talented entertainer Steve Martin - this time on public radio's nationally syndicated A Prairie Home Companion. The show airs this Saturday, the 27th and will feature the Rangers backing Martin on compositions off his recent bluegrass chart-topping release The Crow.
Following the success of their New York and L.A. concerts, the combo is quickly gaining notice for their on-stage chemistry: "The rapport between Martin and his Rangers is startling, even though they've only been working together for a short spell," writes Brooklyn Vegan reporter Martin Longley in a review of their Rubin Museum show. The Rubin show was further augmented by a surprise appearance from banjo virtuoso Tony Trischka.
The Rangers will be maintaining a full tour schedule this summer (click here for dates). Stay tuned as there's a good chance they'll be appearing again with Steve.
