About
Heralds of the Carolina sound for more than two decades, Steep Canyon Rangers find themselves in a unique seat at the table for their new release, Morning Shift, released September 8, On this record, the GRAMMY-winners tell stories that both honor their roots, and expand upon the living art of bluegrass music, all while solidifying their reputation as some of the most influential songwriters in Americana today.
The Steep Canyon Rangers recently recorded their 14th studio album in Bat Cave, NC, at the Hickory Nut Gap Inn, a historical refuge settled near a long-forgotten crossroads of Southern Appalachia. Much like the story of bluegrass music, the conversations surrounding this area are shared, fluid, and greatly affected by a simple matter of perspective. This was the perfect space to feel confident in expanding upon that Carolina sound, the perfect runway to let their well-oiled machine do what it does best- craft stories from the ground up, as a unit.
Graham Sharp writes of similar fluidity on the album’s opening track, “Hominy Valley,” a moving story about the layers of human history in his West Asheville neighborhood.
“It’s not just a shared history, but a liv
Steep Canyon Rangers
Steep Canyon Rangers are Asheville, North Carolina’s GRAMMY winners, perennial Billboard chart-toppers, and frequent collaborators of the renowned banjoist (and occasional comedian) Steve Martin.
Steep Canyon Rangers re-signed with Yep Roc Records in “It feels like coming home,” says Sharp of the partnership. “The Yep Roc family was among the first to welcome Steep Canyon Rangers when we were just pups. As we’ve grown, so have they. We’re incredibly excited for the future and all the music it holds.”
Steep Canyon Rangers released three albums in , all on Yep Roc Records. The Grammy-Nominated North Carolina Songbook is a recording of their live performance at Merlefest in Wilkesboro, NC, in which they performed a selection of songs by North Carolina songwriters (Ola Belle Reed, Doc Watson, James Taylor, Ben E. King, and others). Be Still Moses — perhaps their most singular musical partnership to date – has the band teaming with Philadelphia soul legends Boyz II Men and their hometown Asheville Symphony to completely overhaul the Rangers’ original “Be Still Moses,” which was first recorded on their breakout album Lovin’ Pretty Women. The album includes re-
Bluegrass Today Profiles
Simply stated, Steep Canyon Rangers rank among the upper echelon of today&#;s most prominent bluegrass bands. They&#;ve extended their musical template far beyond any confined parameters and into the realms of the wider culture, courtesy of songs that resonate with immediate accessibility, and all the elements needed to ensure popular appeal.
Live at Greenfield Lake is a perfect summation of their strengths and a true compendium of all the band has achieved in their career thus far. Recorded before a hometown crowd in Wilmington, North Carolina, it finds the band — drummer, multi-instrumentalist and producer Mike Ashworth; singer, songwriter, and banjo picker Graham Sharp; bassist and vocalist Barrett Smith; fiddler Nicky Sanders; singer and mandolin player Mike Guggino; and vocalist, guitarist and &#;new guy&#; Aaron Burdett — replaying songs from the band&#;s classic catalog, and breathing fresh life into each of them in the process.
A medley featuring the rousing concert favorite Tell the Ones I Love, intertwined with the traditional Chuck in the Bush, works especially well given the band&#;s penchant for spontaneity. Can&#;t Get Home and
Barrett and Mike
Mike Guggino and Barrett Smith have been performing traditional Italian folk music on the mandolin and guitar for nearly two decades. The duo first met in college, while both were studying jazz and classical music but also getting their feet wet in bluegrass and American folk music. They are both members of the Grammy Award winning band Steep Canyon Rangers. When Mike and Barrett aren't touring with the band, they host "Italian Night" performances at local restaurants, music venues, and house concerts. Over the years, these widely popular events have provided them the perfect setting to develop their own unique musical expression of these exotic, Italian folk songs.
The decades surrounding the turn of the nineteenth century are considered the "Golden Age" of the mandolin. During this time, hundreds of thousands of Italian emigrants would make the long and dangerous "traversata" across the Atlantic Ocean in search of a better life in America. This included some of the world's finest mandolin players. Many of these mandolin players identified as professional musicians in America, performing and recording songs from their native land but also inspired by their
