The Seldom Scene is one of America’s best-loved bluegrass bands, and no strangers to the Mainstay. Formed in 1971 in Bethesda, Maryland the group has been instrumental in starting the progressive bluegrass movement as their shows include bluegrass versions of country music, rock, and even pop. What does it take for a bluegrass band to remain popular for more than four decades? For The Seldom Scene, it's meant talented musicians, a signature sound, a solid repertoire, and a sheer sense of fun.
Many thanks once again to the Hedgelawn Foundation for sponsoring this show.
