Steve Martin played Carnegie/Letterman, canceling shows
Steve Martin's Tuesday night concert at Carnegie Hall was billed as "An Evening of Banjo and Bluegrass."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...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]
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 youI 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...

Poor ticket sales is my guess. Carnegie Hall comped a lot of seats to make the house seem somewhat full.

poor guys. i saw steve with this band at the tibetan museum in nyc, and they were great. he is so incredibly talented. he was doing things with his hands that i couldn't even understand. i guess bluegrass just isn't a large-venue form, sadly.
