Steppin' Out is a 2007 Pinecastle Records album (PRC-6511) and debut banjo showcase by Jason Davis, a Scruggs-style banjoist active in Nashville's studio and concert bluegrass circuit. The album features an ensemble of guest artists assembled for the project: Russell Moore on lead vocals, Alan Bibey on mandolin, Tim Stafford — Blue Highway co-founder — on guitar and vocals, Justen Haynes on fiddle, and Zachary McLamb, a North Carolina bassist associated with Grasstowne and Kenny & Amanda Smith, on bass. The record presents Davis navigating classic Scruggs-style vocabulary through a program of instrumental and vocal tracks, functioning as a showcase document organized around the banjo chair rather than a regularly touring ensemble.
