Steve Martin and the Steep Canyon Rangers - "So Familiar" (Official Video)

[@fireyflower6643]

You can see in his face when he plays, that in his soul he has found his bliss

[@taydrabrookshire347]

Harry Bliss?

[@dieterheiner]

Spot on Firey Flower. That’s his true self shining through.

[@thoyo]

@@taydrabrookshire347 had no idea about Steve Martin comic strip until this comment. thanks :)

[@johnotto214]

He played before his acting.

[@thoyo]

@@johnotto214 didn't know that. Cool

[@gaoutlaw]

Music, movies, comedy, Steve is a true master of the arts.

[@ericreynolds74]

I'd say he keeps pretty busy

[@scottmoore1811]

Mr Martin I've liked you in so much, & I knew you were a great Bango player. I'm just sorry it was so long to hear you!!!

@AHDHDJDND Dndndn Steve would appreciate this! ;)

[@cybhex6369]

How does this not have millions of views rn 🤷🏾‍♂️🤔

[@laurastrom9857]

Right?

[@jboreal7982]

Steve's a great guy. He came to the Port of Jubail in Saudi Arabia in 91 (pretty sure it was 91) to visit us troops, I'll never forget how gracious he was. I still have the picture too. Glad to see he's still pickin', he's talented and passionate banjo player. Grammy for Steve and the SCRs!

[@danielglenn1253]

Steve Martin is probably very grateful that he gets the opportunity to play together with musicians of this caliber. Looking back, getting up on stage with a banjo and an arrow on your head was a great career move! He is amazingly talented.

[@tireballastserviceofflorid7771]

Steve is one of the best bajo artists around. He is on equal talent with any picker.

[@plucknpick6414]

Steve can hold his own in any setting with the banjo, and his comedy. He is well recognized in Bluegrass circles.

[@antique1911]

I was in the dorm room across the hall from mike at Brevard College when he was practicing mandolin sophomore year. As a banjo player myself I can say their were guys I knew that could have been in the band. Ste r Martin is obviously good, but greatness is collaborated

[@professornuke7562]

Probably as a science type who's supported international musos on more than one tour, you're grateful right up to the point you realise that they are not all that much better than you. The world is FULL of people who could play with Steve, and even challenge him lick for lick (who wouldn't want to see that). This takes nothing from him. I have a 5 string banjo and if he's the best, I'm the worst. I can play it a little which I think makes me worse than someone who can't play it at all.

[@andypbj267]

He's freaking amazing.

[@MrJake-TF2]

Lovely just lovely

[@vincentmckiernan4975]

Again, amazing. PLEASE DO NOT retire form music. I am no one, asking.

[@foxerrr7864]

I’ll never get tired of Steve Martin playing the banjo. 🙌🏻

[@nhmooytis7058]

Or Weird Al on the accordion!😊

[@ursafan40]

If you had told me 20 years ago that the bango was more than just a prop for Mr. Martin's comedy act, I'd have not believed it. I've seen him with the Steep Canyon Rangers twice and the man can play! Hope they all keep coming back to Merlefest.

[@DarkPaleUnicorn]

thank you, Chris Griffin. I didn't know I wanted to see Steve play banjo. LOVE IT!

[@eccolibri60]

I love that Steve can be such a talented musician and still be such a goofball at the same time.

[@ACSmith-rc1xk]

Oh my gosh another reason to be a Steve Martin fan. I LOVE IT!

[@erdekesnem7767]

Holy cow, this is EPIC. The riff, the composition, the solos, omg, everything's just as it should be. Truly amazing performance!

[@KEvinHurney-b2p]

It’s cool that a lot of the rich actors put extra time into musical talents and do things like play in bands for fun. Probably finding a good purpose for themselves.

[@GooDay666]

You have great movies, you play great music, you have an excellent jacket. Thank you Steve Martin.

I live in Cornwall, UK. Driving through the country roads listening to this music elicits the same feeling gs as when I was walking g through Savannah, GA 3 weeks ago with this on my headphones. Life is good is how I felt!

[@PirateFrodoPotter]

This was honestly so awesome, thank you for sharing and thank you Allison for being awesome too!

[@olfoogy]

I love it when a comedian takes at least one thing seriously and Stevie you play that mean banjo baby

[@sabeda1647]

Love this, sounds like mountains and valleys and rivers

[@txgunguy2766]

Sabeda Steve was born in Waco, Texas on the Brazos river. He does have some country roots.

[@corey-bird3489]

Sabeda Like on my channel 😎

[@fairterr]

Sounds more like mountains and ocean (Atlantic ), being from N.C., I truly hope he and The Steep Canyon Rangers and Edie Brickell have many more wonderful years together, and many more albums!

[@sabeda1647]

@@fairterr yeah I can see that

[@fairterr]

@@sabeda1647 ...and if we can get rid of the COVID-19,, maybe they will tour some more and come to Memphis....keeping my fingers crossed for both things

[@joelkeeleymusic]

Best song on the new album in my opinion. Steve was my biggest inspiration to pick up a banjo 4 years ago, so thank you Steve! I love your music and always will!

[@joelkeeleymusic]

“I always have and I always will.”

[@natshenkin]

Duelling Banjos got me interested but Steve kept me interested.

It doesn’t matter what he’s doing, he always makes me smile! “These cans are defective!”

Hello Lori, I hope my comment wasn't taken as a form of invasion of your comments privacy. I'm here to make friends, how are you? Where are you from?

[@davidmorley8386]

I have loved Steve Martin forever, and listening to this song makes me smile and tear up just a little! Thank You! Life is GOOD!

[@EnochByrd]

Heard this on Netflix special. Finally found the song. Went through many of his albums to find it. Just about every song was great!

[@bethe192]

Same! It just mesmerized me in the special! I went right to google and randomly picked a video and bingo! The right song. So beautiful...wistful... good stuff. Yes Mr. Martin you really can do it all, and well. Just amazing.

[@EnochByrd]

@@bethe192 😊

[@TwistedAdventures42]

What Netflix special?

[@martyclary1177]

Though he’s had a wonderful comedy and acting career over the years just seeing some of his face expressions early in this video seems at peace with himself and is enjoying the later part of his life playing music and being totally happy with life

[@cindyhorn5786]

Luv me some Steve Martin! Did he compose this tune? Does it have words?

[@NosyHausfrau]

Wow. I could listen to this all day.

[@avgjoe-cz7cb]

If America had an equivalent of Knighthood, we would all be calling Steve Martin 'Sir Steven Martin.' Well done Sir. And well deserved. May you see your 100th Birthday and still surprising us with good humor.

[@patriciajrs46]

I watched a few of his movies, a long time ago, and realized that he really was crazy. That is, until I saw him play and sing. I learned that he is seriously talented, and a very astute musician. I learned that years ago, too. Thanks Steve for all the great entertainment.

[@markvjh]

So refreshing, reminded me of sun-showers after the harvest. Fantastic.

[@amymccullough1389]

Love this music, has a nicer flavor than most other bluegrass.

[@triciak.bowers3569]

I love the drive and energy of this piece of music - and in the midst of it all, the poignancy of the fiddle never gets lost. Thank you all!

[@Darbobski]

I still listen to "Get Small" from time to time. Its amazing that Steve is so multi-talented. Strangely, I think he is still underrated. Thanks for all the joy Steve, we all need it.

[@stevenvicino8687]

Ironic that Martin joked on "Get Small" that Jimmy Carter should be playing a banjo. Steve Martin for president!

[@TheStockwell]

Steve Martin is not underrated. No offense, but he's HIGHLY respected and regarded.

[@stevenvicino8687]

TheStockwell No offense taken but you seem to have mistaken my original intent. I was "Highly respectful" to Steve in my comments. Comedian, writer, actor, producer, director. Oh... and by the way, musician. Steve's a real under-achiever. He needs to let go of his inhibitions.

[@TheStockwell]

Steven Vicino Oh, then you're using irony - just like Steve Martin does! When they come up with an irony emoji, be sure to stock up. :)

[@Darbobski]

@@stevenvicino8687 he recommended that Nixon play a banjo. Nixon was kind of a sad sack after resignation apparently.

[@ST-kr7hz]

Hi Steve. Im sure you won't see this but on the off chance you do, I want you to know that I love you, as a human being first, and an artist second, very very much. Thank you for everything.

[@lassusorlando1648]

Steve, not in the least trying to be obsequious. Every note brings a little bit more hope to a really confusing, difficult scary time. THANK YOU. Please keep playing. Soothes the soul. Down deep where it counts.

[@adrianspivey4535]

Man Steve, if anyone ever says you aren’t like fine wine they aren’t in their right mind. I remember watching you frequent on the muppet show way back when and I can say I’m really glad to see you’re still plucking that banjo lol

Nicky’s fiddle sounds so great! Love the call and response with Graham! Cute cardboard cutout of Mike G. Bittersweet seeing Charles - run, Forest, run. This is a lovely version of So Familiar, also love the version with Edie’s lyrics.

[@TDPepper]

I love that you continue to freely share your God given talents and humor with anyone and everyone! Blessings on you and yours Steve as well as the Steep Canyon Rangers.

[@robcase6299]

Would buy a album of Steve playing solo. Can't find an unaccompanied version of Great Remember like I heard him play at Hardly Strictly Bluegrass a few years ago! Sometimes simplicity touches the soul.

Hilarious and classy at the same time. I've watched this dozens of times. Thanks for the joy.

[@TheBoglin]

This is easily my favorite song from you guys. I have always wanted to try playing the fiddle or violin and hearing this just makes me want to do it more. Keep up the great tunes Mr. Martin & Co, you all are fantastic!

[@jimbarchuk]

To start a little easier, pick up a used ukulele and practice a little to see if you really like it. All you need are a few chords to strum along. (Personally I could never get past the callous stage of metal string instruments.)

[@TheBoglin]

Jim Barchuk Oh, okay awesome. Thank you for the tip sir, I will look into one of those. I have never tried string instruments using a bow(?) before so I would not know how it is. As a kid in public school I became discouraged at playing an instrument and only ever played the trumpet once. I feel if I just got my hands on one, I could figure out how to use it as I tend to nowadays learn faster when using the actual item in conjunction to reading or watching how-to videos.

[@susanjohnson6743]

I first saw Steve Martin in 1972 at Utah State University (when he was the warm-up for the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band). He was hilariously funny - and then he played his banjo! Wow! One of the great talents of our age!

I have been watching Steve Martin my entire life, his entire career and, I think he's finally doing what he was really meant to do!
