The Sellersville Theater will present the bluegrass-Americana sounds of Steep Canyon Rangers on July 15.
Steep Canyon Rangers are Asheville, N.C.’s, Grammy winners, perennial Billboard chart-toppers and frequent collaborators of the banjoist, comedian and actor Steve Martin.
The Rangers are made up of Graham Sharp on banjo and vocals, Mike Guggino on mandolin/mandola and vocals, Aaron Burdett on guitar and vocals, Nicky Sanders on fiddle and vocals, Mike Ashworth on drums and vocals, and Barrett Smith on bass, guitar and vocals.
Steep Canyon Rangers have been on a journey that is uniquely their own. The band started in college at UNC-Chapel Hill, then dove head first into bluegrass in its most traditional form, and over the years has risen to the top of the bluegrass genre headlining top festivals such as Merlefest and Grey Fox Bluegrass – only to then be discovered by Martin.
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. This has helped SCR become the most recognizable modern name in bluegrass music. The band has continued to tour extensively on its own, without Martin, and has expanded into country, jam, and Americana.
SCR released three albums in 2020, all on Yep Roc Records. Their musical partnerships include teaming with Philadelphia soul legends Boyz II Men, among others.
For tickets and information, visit the theater online, or in person at the box office at 24 W. Temple Ave., Sellersville, or call 215-257-5808.
