Music / Coming soon Steve Martin to Robinson in June

Posted by Lindsey Millar on Thu, Apr 19, 2012 at 11:59 AM

Steve Martin and the Steep Canyon Rangers

Funny man and accomplished banjo picker Steve Martin is coming to Robinson Center Music Hall on June 20. Martin and his bluegrass band The Steep Canyon Rangers are touring behind their album, "Rare Bird Alert," which they released last year to much acclaim.

So mostly music, though a review in the Hollywood Reporter of the kick-off of the tour last year calls it "probably the funniest bluegrass concert ever."

Tickets go on-sale on April 27.

See 'em on Letterman from several years back on the jump.
