Actor Steve Martin surprises Brevard crowd
Actor Steve Martin plays banjo at the Mountain Song Festival on Sunday in Brevard.
Brevard [North Carolina] – The audience at the third annual Mountain Song Festival [on Sunday, September 14, 2008] at the Brevard Music Center was treated to a Hollywood surprise.
“We heard there would be a big surprise at 5, but nobody knew what it was,” said Candace Rice, of Marshall, who was in the crowd. “At 5 o’clock, Steve Martin walked out with the Steep Canyon Rangers.”
Rice, a photography instructor at Asheville-Buncombe Technical Community College, snapped pictures of the actor, known for his roles in films including “The Jerk,” “The Pink Panther” and “Roxanne.”
Rice said Martin played banjo with the bluegrass group for close to an hour.
“People were going crazy. They were absolutely going nuts. Everybody was shocked that he was there,” Rice said.
The music festival was a fundraiser for the Boys and Girls Club of Transylvania County.
