Steve Martin’s go-to backing bluegrass band—Steep Canyon Rangers—is back in town for the second time this year, now promoting its new album, Morning Shift, the outfit’s first with new lead singer Aaron Burdett.

During the release process, the boys had the chance to head to Citizen Vinyl—a pressing plant in the band’s hometown of Asheville, North Carolina—and both watch and contribute to the creation of the record’s live show-exclusive lilac pressing.

While the album is definitely quintessential Steep Canyon Rangers, we still think that they would have been the perfect orchestra for Martin’s Tony Award-nominated Broadway collaboration with Edie Brickell, “Bright Star.”

Tickets to see Steep Canyon Rangers at Clearwater's Bilheimer Capitol Theatre on Sunday, Nov. 5 are still available and start at $25. Subscribe to Creative Loafing newsletters.
