Steep Canyon Rangers return to Ogden with Della Mae for a midsummer evening of bluegrass at the Amphitheater. Two bands. Fiddles, banjos, mandolin. Harmonies tight enough to carry across an open field.

You might know Steep Canyon Rangers as Steve Martin’s bluegrass band. They’ve shared stages with him at Carnegie Hall, the Royal Festival Hall, Bonnaroo, and Austin City Limits, and backed him on albums featuring Paul McCartney and the Dixie Chicks. They’re a Grammy-winning band with 25 years of Appalachian grit, literary songwriting, and voices that trade lines like old friends finishing each other’s sentences.

Their 15th studio album, Next Act, drops in May 2026, a return to the acoustic foundations that first brought them together as college kids in Chapel Hill. Expect new songs alongside the catalog that earned them a Grammy, three nominations, and a spot in the North Carolina Music Hall of Fame.

Opening the evening is Della Mae, the Grammy-nominated all-women bluegrass band whose fiddle-driven sound has been turning heads since 2009. Bassist Vickie Vaughn has taken home IBMA Bass Player of the Year three years running. Their 2026 album Magic Accident, produced by Alison Brown on Compass Records, is their most collaborative record yet, exploring joy and possibility with tight vocal harmonies.

Both bands have played the Ogden Music Festival. Bring a blanket, grab a chair, and settle in as the July sun drops behind the mountains. Food trucks and cold drinks will be available.
