Returning to the SVMF stage for a second time, this Grammy-Award winning band is known for its frequent performances with renowned banjoist, comedian, and actor Steve Martin. Through Martin, Steep Canyon Rangers has expanded its fan base and gained prime time TV exposure, helping the group to become one of the most recognizable modern names in bluegrass music. The band has continued to tour extensively without Martin and has expanded into country and Americana. Steep Canyon Rangers is often compared to its predecessors The Band, Nitty Gritty Dirt Band, and the modern Zac Brown Band.
