SMF Live 1351 - Steep Canyon Rangers 2019

The North Carolina-based sextet Steep Canyon Rangers has spent two decades bending the bluegrass aesthetic and combining it to elements of pop, country and folk rock. The Grammy Award-winning band, which toured and collaborated extensively with comedian and banjo player Steve Martin, is made up of Woody Platt on guitar and lead vocals, Nicky Sanders on fiddle, Mike Guggino on mandolin, Barrett Smith on bass, Graham Sharp on banjo and Mike Ashworth on percussion. Prior to this 2019 appearance on a co-bill with the Del McCoury Band, the Steep Canyon Rangers performed to sold-out crowds at two previous Savannah Music Festivals, as well as our Rollin’ & Tumblin’ event in February of 2016.
