In the 2015 No Depression print magazine that’ll ship this fall, our own Stacy Chandler digs into the story of the Steep Canyon Rangers, as it has led them to their new album RADIO (due next month). But first, to whet your palate, here’s an exclusive premiere of the new single from that disc.
And, from the press release:
Grammy Award-winning Steep Canyon Rangers’ highly anticipated new album, RADIO, will be released August 28 on Rounder Records and can now be pre-ordered via Amazon. Produced by Jerry Douglas (John Oates, Alison Krauss, Béla Fleck), the album’s title track recently premiered on The Wall Street Journal’s Speakeasy blog. Of the track, The Wall Street Journal comments, “Led by bright fiddle and tight, interlocking harmony vocals, the track is a wide-eyed tribute to the magic of discovering music over the airwaves, with sly references to other songs salted into the lyrics.” Stream the song and read the piece here: http://on.wsj.com/1GLaTft. In addition, the band is currently in the midst of a widespread U.S. tour including dates in Telluride, CO, Boulder, CO, Charleston, SC, Raleigh, NC, New York City and Washington, DC. See below for complete details.
Continuously involved with the community and charitable organizations, Steep Canyon Rangers’ annual Mountain Song Festival, which benefits the Boys and Girls Club of Transylvania County, will celebrate its 10th Anniversary this year, kicking off with an inaugural Steep Canyon 50 K & Relay Ultra Run on September 10th. Additionally, the band has entered a partnership with Oskar Blues Brewery and their CAN’d Aid Foundation for a performance at the Oskar Blues Grill and Brew on July 27 in Lyons, CO.
