Steep Canyon Rangers Coming to the Gaillard Center in February
The Gaillard Center today announced they will host the Steep Canyon Rangers, in partnership with the Southeastern Wildlife Exposition (SEWE) on February 16th, 2023.
Steep Canyon Rangers are Asheville, North Carolina’s GRAMMY winners, perennial Billboard chart-toppers, and frequent collaborators of the renowned banjoist (and comedian) Steve Martin.
The Rangers are made up of Graham Sharp on banjo and vocals, Mike Guggino on mandolin/mandola and vocals, Nicky Sanders on fiddle and vocals, Mike Ashworth on drums and vocals, Barrett Smith on bass, guitar, and vocals, and Aaron Burdett. The band started in college at UNC-Chapel Hill and have since risen to the top of the bluegrass genre headlining top festivals such as Merlefest and Grey Fox Bluegrass. They were then discovered by Martin, the famous actor and banjo player. Martin has taken the Rangers on over a decade long tour introducing them to hundreds of thousands of new fans and giving them prime time TV exposure.
Tickets for their Gaillard show go on sale on Friday, December 9th at 10 am at gaillardcenter.org. Gaillard Center Members receive presale access.
