Steep Canyon Rangers is an American bluegrass band based in Asheville and Brevard, North Carolina.[1][2]
Originally formed in 2000, the band has become widely known since 2009 for collaborating with actor/banjoist Steve Martin. SCR performed as a quintet for nearly a decade before intermittent touring began as a sextet with Steve Martin; the band still performs in both configurations.[3]
Steep Canyon Rangers have recorded nine solo albums plus two collaborative albums with Steve Martin. In 2012, their collaboration with Steve Martin, Rare Bird Alert (2012), was nominated for a Grammy Award for Best Bluegrass Album.[citation needed]
In 2013, the Steep Canyon Rangers' solo album Nobody Knows You won the Grammy Award for Best Bluegrass Album.[3]
In May 2013, Steve Martin and SCR began performing with Edie Brickell after she and Martin co-wrote and recorded Love Has Come for You.[citation needed]
