Steve Martin played Carnegie/Letterman, canceling shows

Steve MArtin

Steve Martin‘s Tuesday night concert at Carnegie Hall was billed as “An Evening of Banjo and Bluegrass.”

But he couldn’t resist adding some comedy to the mix, sprinkling some novelty songs into his set list, and frequently giving his between-song patter a dry, absurdist twist.

At one point, he said that he likes to write songs from personal experience. “And this one is called, “I Think My Masseuse is Too Chatty,’ ” he said. (It actually turned out to be the title track from his May album, “The Crow: New Songs for the 5-String Banjo.”)

“This is a song . . . well, that pretty much says it,” he said, introducing another number. [Star Ledger]

That’s a review from the October 6th Steve Martin & the Steep Canyon Rangers banjo show at Carnegie Hall. On October 14th he and the band were set to take the stage at the Wellmont Theater in NJ, but that show has been canceled…

We regret to announce that due to scheduling issues, Steve Martin and the Steep Canyon Rangers has been cancled on Wednesday Oct. 14th. Tickets can be refunded at point of purchase. Thank you

I don’t know any other details, but the October 19th Philly show was canceled too. Right before Carnegie, Steve appeared on Letterman. That video below…
