Steve Martin Cancelled

POSTED: Sunday, October 11, 2009, 5:06 PM

Dan DeLuca, Inquirer Music Critic

Steve Martin has cancelled his scheduled Oct. 19th banjo-playing performance with the Steep Canyon Rangers at Verizon Hall at the Kimmel Center. It won't be rescheduled, but ticket buyers can get their money back at point of purchase - details on that here at the Kimmel web site. No reason has been given, but poor ticket sales are the suspected culprit. I guess there's not a huge demand out there for celebrity bluegrass. Too bad: His album The Crow: New Songs For The Five String Banjo isn't half bad, plus I had an interview with him in the can. Here he is playing "Foggy Mountain Breakdown" with Earl Scruggs on Letterman from a few years back.

Steve Martin must really be bored. Or on drugs

Too bad they couldn't move it to a smaller venue rather than cancel

I bought a couple tickets. Steve Martin and Dave Barry could stand on their heads reading the phone book and it would be entertaining. Wonder if the Philadelphia ticket sales were bad or the whole tour.
