The “Next Act Tour” features Steep Canyon Rangers alongside special guests including Sam Bush, The Wood Brothers, and select festival collaborators on various dates.
The run begins January 9, 2026, with stops planned for Asheville, Nashville, Atlanta, Chicago, Denver, Toronto, and Seattle as the band continues touring behind recent music and their evolving post–Steve Martin era. Festival appearances tied to the “Next Act Tour” include MerleFest, WinterWonderGrass, and RockyGrass. Fans should grab tickets early before the best seats disappear.
