Wheeler Presents Steep Canyon Rangers

Steep Canyon Rangers bring their Grammy-winning bluegrass and Americana mastery to the stage, blending Appalachian tradition with contemporary influences. Recognized for their exceptional songwriting and instrumental skill, the North Carolina band has 14 studio albums, three Grammy nominations, and collaborations with Steve Martin. Nobody Knows You won Best Bluegrass Album in 2013, while Rare Bird and North Carolina Songbook received nominations.
This performance features a new addition: award-winning singer-songwriter Aaron Burdett. His soul-stirring vocals and deep respect for folk tradition add fresh emotional layers to the Rangers’ celebrated sound. Band members include Graham Sharp (banjo, vocals), Mike Guggino (mandolin/mandola, vocals), Nicky Sanders (fiddle, vocals), Mike Ashworth (drums, vocals), and Barrett Smith (bass, guitar, vocals). Burdett’s impact has been described as music that can “touch your heart or slap you in the face,” in the words of Ashworth.
Don’t miss Steep Canyon Rangers as they perform songs spanning their incredible career, from traditional bluegrass to new Americana classics. This is your chance to experience one of bluegrass music’s most innovative and respected bands live!
