Advance tickets for the concert are $35 and are on sale at www.limekilntheater. org. Tickets will be $40 at the door, with cash, Visa, MasterCard, and Discover all accepted.
Doors open at 6 p.m., and the show starts at 7:30 p.m. Both concerts will take place at Lime Kiln rain or shine.
Food will be available at both events, along with a selection of beers, wines, cider, and other beverages.
The Rangers are made up of Graham Sharp on banjo and vocals, Mike Guggino on mandolin/mandola and vocals, Nicky Sanders on fiddle and vocals, Mike Ashworth on drums and vocals, Barrett Smith on bass, guitar, and vocals, and Aaron Burdett on guitar and vocals.
The band started in college at UNC-Chapel Hill, then dove head first into bluegrass in its most traditional form, and over the years have risen to the top of the bluegrass genre headlining top festivals such as Merlefest and Grey Fox Bluegrass. Then they were discovered by Steve Martin, famous actor and banjo player. Martin has taken the Rangers on over a decadelong tour introducing them to hundreds of thousands of new fans and giving them prime time TV exposure. This has helped SCR become the most recognizable modern name in bluegrass music.
They are often compared to predecessors The Band, Nitty Gritty Dirt Band, and the modern Zac Brown Band.
