Oh my god that is the most beautiful mandolin. Steve Martin obviously dominates the banjo, and everyone else is exceptional as well, but just wow. Mandolin of the heavens.
I just saw Steve Martin and the Steep Canyon Rangers at the Orpheum Theater in Sioux City Friday night. They were AWESOME!! Steve Martin still has his same sense of humor and works it into his music sets. The entire group is so talented, but it's a true pleasure to watch Nicky Sander on the fiddle. I would encourage everyone to check them out if you ever get the chance. Well worth it.....and I'd go again!
Just saw them in Mesa, AZ last night. Wow what a show. I'm a classically and jazz trained musician and haven't really ever listened to blue grass except for Bela Fleck and Nickel Creek. Their concert was one of the best concerts I've ever been to: funny, highly entertaining, and great music.
Perfect! Hope to go to Lansing to hear them. I play guitar, banjo and mandolin and can tell you that it took them a life time of dedication and sacrifice to play like this. Wonderful!
won the well deserved award as well. who'd have guessed. amazing technicality as well. what an entertainer steve martin turned out to be. we're so lucky to experience him in his lifetime.
Saw their show in London this week and it was a really amazing night. Huge talent and great performances from everyone. Standing O well done, more please.
Truly talented musicians, every one of them! And that's from one from a classical music conservatory! Excellent stuff! And I'm not even a bluegrass fan!!!
Steve Martin did my quadruple by-pass surgery in 2001. ? ? Actually it was Dr Steve Martin of Chattanooga, Tennessee. As you can gather, I am still among the living. If "The" Steve Martin had walked into the operating room, I would have walked out. Being from bluegrass country, ol' Steve does a bang-up job on the five string.
Awesome! Kudos to Steve. I wonder if he if really a part of this group or just like an honorary member that plays with them on occasion. In other words - did he give up his day job? If I was a betting women - I bet he loves playing music even more than acting/comedy.
@SenorBloo you must be jealous . it is part of the show he dead pans to show he is still a funny guy . Why can't you admit he is a great performer and has many talents that God has blessed him with
100x times more skilled than any "stars" of today. Culturally-unbiased guys of any age would strongly agree, but for teenage girls it's "boring" and not some "hot guy" over-the-top excitement with zero substance, musical ability be damned. Every generation of them sets music back decades, and makes actually talented musicians more worthless and circus clowns more valuable. And, as always, the guys follow the girls' lead like puppy dogs with their tongues hanging out.
