Steep Canyon Rangers

When you say bluegrass to me, I question your sanity, when you tell me it's a type of music, I begin to call medics.

That was the case when my friend said he wanted to go and see a bluegrass band called Steep Canyon Rangers perform. Very reluctantly I accepted on the basis that they had performed with Steve Martin, yes Steve Martin the legendary comedian and was told that he sometimes makes an appearance at the shows of these 6 individuals, I had to go!
The band from North Carolina, USA have many accomplishments under their belts as I had quickly learned even being awarded with entertainers of the year in 2011 by the International Bluegrasss Music Association.

Seeing this band live was very different from what I am used to as I am mainly a fan of hip hop, but I was pleasantly surprised as they were actually quite funny as I learned when they told jokes to the audience. The audience really enjoyed their performance of 'Tell The Ones I love' I actually enjoyed this myself as the sounds of the natural instruments, vibrated across the room.

As a person who had no idea what bluegrass was, I was definitely a fan after seeing this myself, I would recommend anybody to also go and watch this band perform!

The Rangers were wonderful, as always. They're very consistent; I don't think there's such a thing as a mediocre SCR show! It's easy to see that they really enjoy themselves on stage, and admire each other's talents. Nicky, as usual, displayed limitless energy! Rather than the usual suits, they went casual for this show - jeans with either t-shirts or untucked button-down shirts. It was nice to see them a bit more laid back! I'd just seen them perform a week ago at a seated show in Asheville, but much prefer a standing crowd like this was - the energy is so much better! Lots of dancing, singing along, and vocalized appreciation for the band. It was a great evening. Even if you're not a huge bluegrass fan, if you have a chance to see them, don't pass it up!

Amazing show! I love their recorded music, but the studio work is pretty radio friendly (mostly 3-5 minute songs). Playing live, however, these guys do extended jams and really have fun. I will definitely catch them when they are back my way.

They were Great! Every song they seemed to enjoy and embraced their music with LOTS of passion. Each musician was very talented. No one star . Each one was super. Wowed me and my husband

The guys were sure on their game last night! Very high energy sets- bow and guitar strings be damned! Phenomenal musicianship, deep rich vocals. A must see show for any music lover.

It was a fabulous show as always. A great show all around. The Hamilton let's people stand between the stage and the seated audience making it very difficult to view the Rangers .
