This blazing hot bluegrass group , has been named Emerging Artists of the Year by The International Bluegrass Music Association. 
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. It was another classic Opera House performance and "as good as it gets in tradition-based modern bluegrass".
