Hailing from Brevard, N.C.,(with frequent photo features at concertphotosmagazine.com), Steep Canyon Rangers have appeared from Los Angeles to New York, performing at all the major bluegrass festivals in the US and abroad. They have recorded with Paul McCartney and recently earned fame as the backup band for comic-turned-outstanding-banjo-player Steve Martin.
