Steep Canyon Rangers came together at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in 2000 and have spent the next two decades building one of the most respected catalogs in modern bluegrass. The band won a Grammy for Best Bluegrass Album in 2013 for Nobody Knows You and tours regularly with Steve Martin.
