December 4 (HOLLYWOOD) -- Steve Martin, who recently finished a six-week music tour of cities such as Canada and Europe, will publish his tour diaries on his website STEVEMARTIN.COM beginning Monday, December 7th.

Earlier today in his laundry room, Steve clutched a cardboard paper-towel tube and enthused, "I'm thrilled to share my innermost thoughts and feelings about my bluegrass tour.  I'll be posting my diary entries in short installments for a variety of legal reasons, all of which are grim.

"It's a revealing look at the experience of performing live, the marvelous experiences I had playing banjo alongside the Steep Canyon Rangers, and the wonderful people I met along the way.  Of course, I know the parts my fans will enjoy best will be the juicy, no-holds-barred accounts of life backstage, especially my bouts with indigestion!

"Happy reading, check back often, and you're welcome!"
