Dynamic on stage, down to earth off stage, Dan Tyminski has the voice, instrumental chops, and charisma to be counted among the most recognizable and popular male vocalists on today’s bluegrass and country music scenes. Yet his demeanor – low-key and laconically sly – ensures that all the accolades are the product of his own innate gifts.
From Asheville, North Carolina, Steep Canyon Rangers are the International Bluegrass Music Association's 2006 Emerging Artists of the Year. Their recent recordings have risen to the top of industry charts and can been heard on bluegrass & satellite radio. They have appeared several times on the Grand Ole Opry and often share stages with Doc Watson, Del McCoury and Tim O'Brien.
Most recently, Steep Canyon Rangers received 2 IBMA nominations in 2008:
Album of the Year (
Lovin' Pretty Women)
and
Gospel Performance of the Year (
"Be Still Moses").
