Join Charles, event organizer, and your fellow members in seeing STEVE MARTIN & THE CANYON RANGERS live in concert at Largo at the Coronet! Yes, I looove American roots music from blues to bluegrass. LOL A couple years back, I organized this group to check out a concert at this same spectacular intimate venue for a concert with actor John C. Reilly and friends. Everyone agreed we had a blast!

Ever evolving his body of work actor and comedian Steve Martin is also a Grammy® Award winning musician who found his love for the banjo at the age of 17. Martin originally used his passion for the banjo as part of his standup comedy routine, but in 2010, he released his first album, The Crow: New Songs for the 5-Strong Banjo. Since then, Martin has played many prestigious stages including Carnegie Hall, Royal Festival Hall in London, and the Capitol Building in Washington D.C. Martin released his second full length bluegrass album Rare Bird Alert in 2011.

The album featured 13 Martin-penned tracks as well as special guest vocal appearances by Paul McCartney and The Dixie Chicks. Additionally, Martin co-wrote two of the CD’s songs with the Grammy®-winning bluegrass band, Steep Canyon Rangers.

That year, Martin won the International Bluegrass Music Association’s Entertainer of the Year Award. He most recently collaborated with Edie Brickell on the critically acclaimed album Love Has Come For You, which combines Martin’s five-string banjo work with Brickell’s vivid vocals. Martin and Brickell took home the Grammy® Award for “Best American Roots Song” for the song “Love Has Come For You,” off the album of the same name. Martin also created the Steve Martin Prize for Excellence in Banjo and Bluegrass for those who exemplify outstanding bluegrass performance.
