Hopefully Steve Martin will make a little more change with the release of “Rare Bird Alert“, his second bluegrass album with The Steep Canyon Rangers. It comes out on on March 15th via Rounder Records. He should also make a little loot (not saying he needs it) from the series of intimate record release shows he’s going to play with the band in NYC that week. The shows are happening at Highline Ballroom (on sale Friday at noon), Joe’s Pub (three shows – probably go on sale Friday) and Music Hall of Williamsburg (on AmEx presale now with general sale starting Friday). It’s also possible there are even more I don’t know about yet (he seems to be taking 3/18 off). If so, let me know.

All tour dates, which also include one show at Bergen Performing Arts Center in Englewood, NJ (tickets), and another show at Mayo Center for the Performing Arts in Morristown, NJ (tickets), are below.
