Steve Martin with The Steep Canyon Rangers 
Martin Woldson Theater at The Fox – Monday, November 2nd

Steve Martin is extremely talented. He’s a actor, author, comedian and one hell of a banjo player who performed an amazing concert at the Martin Woldson Theater at the Fox Monday night.

The show was sold out and I had the opportunity to take photos of the first three songs. With that said I did not have a seat in the full theater and had to go after the three songs I was allowed to photograph.

I must say what I saw was Steve Martin doing what he does best: EVERYTHING. He was funny and conversational between songs. The music was fantastic with some of the most entertaining bluegrass songs I’ve heard in my life. Rrom his new album The Crow: New Songs for the Five String Banjo. The Steep Canyon Rangers were five of the most talented musicians to take the stage at The Fox. With a violin player, stand up bass, acoustic guitar, another guitar player an additional banjo player, every note was perfect.

Steve Martin is a perfectionist in everything he does and tonight was no exception the jokes between songs including him mentioning that it was the first leg of the tour and he hopes to only loose $12,000 to him saying after the first song “one song down 36 songs to go”. He is one of the best banjo players in the world. Look him up on You Tube if you need proof!

Before I knew it my three songs were up and it was time to go. I’m so thankful to get to see what I did from one of the man that is great at everything he does Steve Martin. When I was leaving the Fox I was looking at the poster for the show and the bottom summed it up best – Truly Wonderful and just as advertised.
