Steep Canyon Rangers

Hailing from both the Appalachian and Piedmont regions of North Carolina, the Steep Canyon Rangers have long held traditional bluegrass paramount, while possessing an exceptional ability to bring it down the mountain, and to incorporate accessible influence from all walks of the region. With the band’s last few albums, they have gained recognition from well beyond the world of bluegrass, earning a reputation as some of the most influential songwriters in Americana today. The band has made a name for themselves across the past quarter-century, with outlets like Rolling Stone recognizing them as "one of the most sought-after groups in Americana, bluegrass, and indie-folk."

Demand for a new live album from the Rangers increased after their GRAMMY-nominated 2019 album North Carolina Songbook, where the band covered songs across a multitude of artists all born in the Tar Heel State (ranging from James Taylor to Doc Watson to Thelonious Monk, to name a few) at MerleFest. The album drew widespread acclaim and topped the Billboard Bluegrass Chart for numerous weeks, and the requests for a live album of Steep Canyon Rangers' original songs grew louder and louder.

Live at Greenfield Lake finally captures the magic of Steep Canyon Rangers' onstage chemistry, demonstrating the band's unparalleled harmonies and rich songwriting that has made the band one of the most critically-acclaimed across Americana music. The spellbinding, tender performances of "Recommend Me" and "Birds of Ohio" mixed with blistering, barnburning renditions of "Afterglow" and "Sunny Days" exhibit the wide breadth of styles and genres that the Rangers tackle in concert.
