On Memorial Day evening, the North Charleston Performing Arts Center welcomed veteran comedian, actor, and musician Steve Martin, who performed with North Carolina-based folk/bluegrass ensemble Steep Canyon Rangers and special guest vocalist Edie Brickell.
Martin has been collaborating with the Rangers since 2009 when they partnered for a broadcast performance on NPR’s A Prairie Home Companion. They released a collaborative album last year titled Rare Bird Alert.
Charleston-based musician/photographer John Birkenheuer caught the concert for Metronome Charleston. “It was a great show, and everything went well,” he reported. “Steve Martin definitely held his own. Between each song, he did comedy in relation to music and the band. It was enjoyable.”
