SUMMARY:Steep Canyon Rangers
DESCRIPTION:Co-promoted with Rhythm & Roots as they conclude an extraordi
 nary 30-year run! Steep Canyon Rangers arrive at a moment of renewal and
  reaffirmation with Next Act\, their 15th studio album that was released
  May 22\, 2026. The record represents a conscious tightening of focus: a
  return to the bluegrass foundations that first bound the band together\
 , approached with the confidence and emotional range earned through year
 s of collective evolution. It is an affirmation that bluegrass still con
 tains endless expressive possibility. Next Act finds the Rangers soundin
 g deeply at home in their own musical language\, drawing strength from t
 radition while continuing to write new chapters within it. Formed in Nor
 th Carolina and shaped equally by the Appalachian Mountains and the Pied
 mont\, Steep Canyon Rangers have long occupied a singular space in Ameri
 can roots music. From their earliest recordings\, the band demonstrated 
 an unusual ability to honor traditional bluegrass forms while allowing c
 ontemporary songwriting\, literary influence\, and regional storytelling
  to seep naturally into the music. Over time\, this balance earned them 
 both bluegrass credibility and broader Americana acclaim\, culminating i
 n a Best Bluegrass Album GRAMMY Award for 2013’s Nobody Knows You\, addi
 tional nominations for Rare Bird Alert (2012) and North Carolina Songboo
 k (2020)\, and an induction into the North Carolina Music Hall of Fame. 
 In recent years\, as their audience expanded and their songwriting reach
  grew wider\, the Rangers began to feel a pull back toward the elemental
  forces that shaped them: acoustic instruments speaking clearly\, songs 
 built for ensemble interplay\, and stories grounded in lived experience 
 and regional memory. Next Act emerges from that impulse. Steep Canyon Ra
 ngers is made up of Graham Sharp on banjo and vocals\, Mike Guggino on m
 andolin/mandola and vocals\, Aaron Burdett on guitar and vocals\, Nicky 
 Sanders on fiddle and vocals\, Mike Ashworth on drums\, dobro\, percussi
 on and vocals\, and Barrett Smith on bass\, guitar\, and vocals.\n\nTick
