Steve Martin & The Steep Canyon Rangers feat. Edie Brickell

Steve Martin and Edie Brickell perform songs from their newly released album of Americana roots music, Love Has Come For You, and other music created with the esteemed bluegrass combo Steep Canyon Rangers.

This Steve and Edie collaboration of banjo playing and folksy, bluesy vocals presents traditional storytelling with modern touches (“When you get to Asheville, send me an email”). Steve, Edie and the Rangers invite us into an intimate world of eloquent, thoughtful songwriting and entertaining, playful banjo picking, similar to what you’d hear in a living room concert.

Kool & The Gang’s signature instrumental sound and fierce horn arrangements mean “boogie” to thousands. Their monster, international infectious “Celebration” is a song for good times. Street funk and underground R&B pioneers, The Ohio Players still perform all of their original, danceable music without computers and sound enhancers. “Get Down on It,” “Ladies Night,” “Fire” and “Rollercoaster” are hits to remember. Are you ready to PAR-TAY?

After the show, the party continues! Join us in the Atrium for The Mahaffey After Party with DJ Fresh, dance music and cocktails!
