Interviewer: Gracie Muldoon
Description:
The Steep Canyon Rangers’ deep dedication to bluegrass is heard in every note they play. But it’s the band’s amazing songwriting talent that makes them truly exceptional. With a sound firmly rooted in bluegrass tradition, their ability to draw musical elements from hard core honky-tonk, classic country, and blues sets them apart from the rest of the pack.
While Steep Canyon’s fierce commitment to traditional bluegrass audiences is obvious, the band is also dedicated to bringing their music to the next generation of fans. They have taken bluegrass to rock clubs, jam band festivals and other non-traditional venues, winning new converts at every turn.
The Rangers are young, ambitious men: Graham Sharp (banjo, lead and harmony vocals), Woody Platt (guitar and lead vocals), Charles R. Humphrey III (bass and harmony vocals), Mike Guggino (mandolin and harmony vocals), & Nicky Sanders (fiddle and harmony vocals). Constant touring, intense rehearsing, and most importantly, creative songwriting, sets them apart from the field.
