out steepcanyonThe Grammy Award-winning bluegrass band Steep Canyon Rangers gathered on the Blue Ridge Parkway this spring, instruments in hand, to help the Blue Ridge Parkway Foundation raise the $50,000 they still need to complete the $350,000 Graveyard Fields restoration project. 

The band’s instrumental piece “Graveyard Fields” appeared in the band’s latest album, Tell the Ones I Love, and Steep Canyon Rangers agreed to make a music video at the popular parkway site, in cooperation with Bonesteel Films, to support the restoration project. The project, scheduled for completion before July 4, includes construction of a much-needed restroom, significant trail improvements, and expansion of the parking lot

The music video is online at www.brpfoundation/graveyardfields.
