LAist has just gotten word that a handful of tickets just became available for the three sold-out Steve Martin and the Steep Canyon Rangers bluegrass performances at Largo at the Coronet next week. These exclusive LA concerts will take place Tuesday (Sept. 29 at 7:30 p.m. and 10 p.m.) and Wednesday (Sept. 30 and 8:30 p.m.) Martin, who released his first full-length banjo CD earlier this year, recently performed with the Steep Canyon Rangers on A Prairie Home Companion. And as the New York Times highlighted earlier this year, among country and bluegrass musicians, Martin is "regarded as a master of a difficult five-fingered playing style." To reserve your tickets, call Largo at the Coronet at (310) 855-0350.




Anyone else have trouble getting tickets to the Largo? I called this past Tuesday for tickets to the Saturday show; left a message, left my card number, blah blah blah. The guy calls me today to let me know that all the pre-sale tickets have been sold out but that I can show up tomorrow to try and get some tickets before the show. So basically I don't find out until Friday afternoon that I won't be getting tickets? Really? What year are we in, anyway?
Who at Largo can't figure out how to put tickets for purchase up on a website? I mean, seriously. It isn't brain surgery.
