MEMBERS ONLY UNTIL 3/11 Mike Guggino, Mike Ashworth, Woody Platt of Steep Canyon Rangers, and Marc Pruett of Balsam Range are getting back to their roots with an evening of bluegrass April 5th at 8pm. This show will be limited to 75 seated patrons, the rest will be general admission, and will be on sale to members only until March 11 at noon.
Steep Canyon Rangers have been expanding the parameters of bluegrass since coming together in 2000. Since then, the genre-defying band has developed a remarkable catalogue of original music that links them to the past while at the same time, demonstrates their ambitious intent to bring string-based music into contemporary relevance.
Marc Pruett grew up in the mountains of Western North Carolina. This Southern Appalachian Region has long been a hot-bed for traditional arts and folk music. When Marc was first learning to play mountain string-band music, artists like Lester Flatt and Earl Scruggs, Bill Monroe, the Stanley Brothers and Jimmy Martin regularly played the area to well attended audiences. These and other great mountain folk artists were the ones to which Marc Pruett listened and tried to emulate.
