    Default Steve Martin live in Brooklyn (Video)

    This is a fun video. It's mostly a sensitive hipster introduction to the banjo and bluegrass/oldtime, but nice video production and some mando content too.



    I love Steve...my comedy idol.

    Thanx for this video! I saw them at the Pabst Theater here in Milwaukee. Martin & the Rangers are a great way to introduce Bluegrass to the Hipsters!!!

    Some of the faces in the crowd seemed so impressed that they were actually playing their own instruments. Around 1:20 Steve said something like "When people think of the banjo they think of a big loud brassy instrument..." and I kept waiting for the punchline that never came.

    Steve is certainly a great ambassador for the banjo and Bluegrass.
