Brance made mention last week of the Mountain Song Festival in NC, put on by Steep Canyon Rangers to benefit the local Boys & Girls Club.

Graham Sharp from SCR tells us that the festival on 9/13 was a big success, with appearances from Sam Bush, Tim O’Brien, Cherryholmes - and SCR, of course. The big surprise hit was an appearance from banjo player, actor, and comedian Steve Martin, who joined the Steep Canyon guys on stage for a brief set.

Graham tells us that Steve entertained the crowd for several minutes, and joked at one point that the event would have been a big success were it not for his fee.

Here’s a YouTube clip of Steve playing his song The Crow with SCR.
