Steve Martin and the Steep Canyon Rangers Featuring Edie Brickell in Concert Saturday, March 1, 8:30 pm CT Comedy legend Steve Martin is now in the fifth decade of a varied and accomplished career as a comic, actor, author and playwright—but he is also a Grammy-winning bluegrass banjoist and songwriter. Great Performances turns the spotlight on Martin’s musical side with a concert performance of his new collaboration with Edie Brickell, who initially burst onto the national scene in the late ’80s fronting the New Bohemians. Although these new musical partners have already built respected individual bodies of work, their inaugural effort is a charming departure, as well as a creative milestone.
