Appearances have just been announced for Steve Martin with The Steep Canyon Rangers on The Late Show with David Letterman on October 5, and The View on the 6th. They are on the road with Martin in support of his banjo album, , The Crow.

Here’s the Rangers talking about how they hooked up with Steve, and have ended up touring with him in support of CD.

In the perfect timing department, the new Steep Canyon Rangers CD, Deep In The Shade will be released on Rebel Records this THursday, October 1.

Steep Canyon Rangers have a guest spot on tonight’s (9/25) Grand Ole Opry broadcast.

It will be their second visit to the Opry stage, and banjo picker and primary songwriter Graham Sharp tells us that they will be highlighting material from their upcoming album, Deep In The Shade, due from Rebel on October 6.

“We’ll be doing a couple tunes for the 8:00 segment of this Friday’s Grand Ol’ Opry, probably from the new record. We’ve been doing most of the new songs live and folks seem to really like the direction we’ve taken; I think the tunes are pretty distinctive.

It’s exciting times…  our last Opry appearance, I believe, was one of the last shows Porter Wagoner hosted, so we have some fond memories there and are honored to be returning.”

The 8:00 p.m. Graham mentions is Central time, with the Opry show starting up on WSM at 7:00. Jesse McReynolds & The Virginia Boys and The Whites will also appear on tonight’s show.

Tune in to WSM at 650 AM or online to catch all the evening’s great music.
