What does it take for a bluegrass band to remain popular for over five decades?

For The Seldom Scene, it’s taken not only an evolving roster of talented musicians, a signature sound, and a solid repertoire, but also a sheer sense of fun.

Established in 1971 in a basement in Bethesda, Maryland, the Seldom Scene has gone on to become one of the most popular progressive bluegrass bands around. With their inventive take on bluegrass, which includes versions of country music, rock, and pop, they have displayed both their original material and their interpretations of songs from limitless genres.

Long live the Seldom Scene.
