Actor, comedian, author, playwright and musician Steve Martin wields his five-string banjo as he joins the outstanding progressive bluegrass ensemble the Steep Canyon Rangers for an evening of topnotch musical entertainment—including Martin’s irrepressible wit. Martin launched his career as a banjo-playing stand-up comedian but has since graduated to the ranks of serious musician, winning a Grammy for his 2009 solo banjo album The Crow, which “won over the hard-to-please bluegrass crowd and sits atop America’s bluegrass charts” (Toronto Star). Ranking among the country’s premier acoustic ensembles, the Rangers have “emerged as one of the most engaging string bands around, and…the future looks even brighter” (The Washington Post).
