  • Steep Canyon Rangers Performing Live at Mesa Arts Center Friday, November 2, 2017
    Media Contact: Casey Blake 480-644-6620 [email protected] Steep Canyon Rangers Performing Live at Mesa Arts Center Friday, November 2, 2017 Mesa, AZ (October 5, 2017) – GRAMMY® Award-winning Steep Canyon Rangers will perform live at Mesa Arts Center Friday, November 2 at 7:30 p.m. Tickets are on sale now and available at the Mesa Arts Center box office, MesaArtsCenter.com or by calling 480-644-6500. Steep Canyon Rangers effortlessly walk the line between festival favorite and sophisticated string orchestra. They’re as danceable as the most progressive, party-oriented string band, and equally comfortable translating their songs for accompaniment by a full symphony. It’s that mix of serious chops and good-natured fun that earned the Steep Canyon Rangers the GRAMMY® Award for Best Bluegrass Album in 2013 (for "Nobody Knows You"), and that drew celebrated comedian/banjoist Steve Martin to them when he needed a backing band. The Rangers are world-class musicians who are just as at home taking the stage at Carnegie Hall as they are knee-deep in a mountain brook, fly rod in hand. It has been more than fifteen years and nine studio albums since the Steep Canyon Rangers formed in Chapel Hill. The band received rave reviews for their last album (the Jerry Douglas- produced "Radio"), with No Depression commenting that it is "one of those albums that’s packed with hits." Now, in 2017, the band is working on their highly anticipated tenth studio album. “It’s really gratifying to play music with people you can trust, who hear something and pull what’s best out of it into something truly special,” says banjoist Graham Sharp.

  • Curly Seckler & the Steep Canyon Rangers
    Curly Seckler & The Steep Canyon Rangers A Bluegrass Legend Teams with the Hottest Young Band on the Scene Today! THE MASTER Curly Seckler is regarded as one of the greatest tenor singers ever in bluegrass. In 2004 he was inducted into the International Bluegrass Music Association’s Hall of Fame. Born in 1919, Curly began his musical odyssey in 1935, performing on radio in Salisbury, NC. Early in his career, Curly worked with Charlie Monroe, Jim & Jesse McReynolds, Mac Wiseman, The Sauceman Brothers and The Stanley Brothers, before settling into his best-known role as mandolin player and tenor singer with Flatt & Scruggs’s Foggy Mountain Boys. Over the next dozen years, Curly recorded well over 100 songs with them, including many of their most popular hits. The Lester Flatt/Curly Seckler duets from the 1950s are still considered to be among the best bluegrass performances ever. Curly remained with Flatt & Scruggs until 1962. In 1971 he recorded his first solo album on County Records, and by 1973 he had reunited with Lester Flatt in his band, The Nashville Grass. When Flatt passed away in 1979, Curly took over leadership of the Nashville Grass for another fifteen years. Though Curly retired from active touring in 1994, he continued to make occasional appearances at festivals and concerts. Still a vibrant, creative, and charming entertainer, in 2004 he made his first new recordings in ten years. Down In Caroline, released on Copper Creek in the fall of 2005, was a finalist for IBMA Recorded Event of the Year. Curly’s latest CD, Bluegrass, Don’t You Know, was named one of the Top 10 Bluegrass CDs of 2006 by The Chicago Tribune.

    Saturday, April 17, 2021, 7:30 PM EDT STEEP CANYON RANGERS with special guest Amythyst Kiah STEEP CANYON RANGERS with special guest Amythyst Kiah Program to be announced from the stage Biographies STEEP CANYON RANGERS Steep Canyon Rangers is Asheville, North Carolina’s Grammy winner, perennial Billboard chart-topper, and frequent collaborator of the renowned banjoist (and occasional comedian) Steve Martin. Steep Canyon Rangers re-signed with Yep Roc Records in 2019. “It feels like coming home,” says banjoist and vocalist Graham Sharp of the partnership. “The Yep Roc family was among the first to welcome Steep Canyon Rangers when we were just pups. As we’ve grown, so have they. We’re incredibly excited for the future and all the music it holds.” Steep Canyon Rangers released three albums in 2020, all on Yep Roc Records. The Grammy-nominated North Carolina Songbook is a recording of the band’s live 2019 performance at Merlefest in Wilkesboro, North Carolina, in which the band performed a selection of songs by North Carolina songwriters (Ola Belle Reed, Doc Watson, James Taylor, Ben E. King, and others). Be Still Moses—perhaps its most singular musical partnership to date–has the band teaming with Philadelphia soul legends Boyz II Men and its hometown Asheville Symphony to completely overhaul the Rangers’ original Be Still Moses, which was first recorded on its 2007 breakout album, Lovin’ Pretty Women. The album includes re-imagined versions of Steep Canyon’s previously released original songs performed with an orchestra. Its most recent release of all original music, Arm in Arm, came out in October.

  • New and Rare Bird Records from St. Martin, West Indies
    New and Rare Bird Records from St. Martin, West Indies Adam C. Brown1 and Natalia Collier2 1,2 Environmental Protection In the Caribbean 200 Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd., Riviera Beach, Florida 33404 [email protected] Abstract – During January through March in 2001, 2002, and 2003, we surveyed birds in St. Martin, West Indies. These surveys included terrestrial and wetland areas. During the surveys we recorded 26 new species for the island including five introduced species. Additionally, we recorded six species that have been recorded once before, and 28 species considered rare or vagrant to the island. Introduction During January through March in 2001, 2002, and 2003, we surveyed bird populations on the island of St. Martin, West Indies. Our intent was to find the general distribution and status of birds on the island. On St. Martin, general bird surveys had not been carried out since the mid-1970’s, and prior to that, in the 1920’s and 1950’s 9; 24; 13; 23. St. Martin is in the northern Lesser Antilles. Habitat on St. Martin is variable. The coastline is surrounded by uplifted reef, interspersed with small stretches of sandy coastline. From the coast, moving inland over the transitional flatlands, the island has many shallow depressions, in which salt ponds, lagoons, and salt flats exist. Wetlands are surrounded typically by thorn scrub forest and scrub mangrove habitat. Covering approximately a fifth of the island’s lowland areas, wetlands provide important breeding and wintering sites as well as critical migratory stopovers for waterbirds4. The lowland areas, which are characterized by thorn scrub, quickly progress to steep mountains in the interior, which are also generally covered with thorn scrub.
