2017 Southern Sound Series: The Steep Canyon Rangers

The Grammy-Award-winning Steep Canyon Rangers performed sold-out concerts at the McCelvey Center in January 2014 and March 2015. Back by popular demand, the band returns with their deftly crafted feel-good bluegrass. The title track from the Steep Canyon Rangers’ latest album, “RADIO,” was nominated for 2016’s Song of the Year by the International Bluegrass Music Association. The band’s “Nobody Knows You” won a 2013 Grammy for Best Bluegrass Album. After touring with comedian/banjo-picking Steve Martin in 2011, the Steep Canyon Rangers were presented with the International Bluegrass Music Association’s Entertainer of the Year Award. The band’s 2017 concert at the McCelvey will be on the heels of another tour with Steve Martin.
