The Seldom Scene September 8, 2007

Since its inception in 1971, the Seldom Scene has thrived on playing bluegrass a little differently than everyone else. If other bands used a fiddler, the Seldom Scene used a Dobro; if others relied on old standards, the Seldom Scene played rock classics. Through skilled musicianship and an urban approach to bluegrass, the Seldom Scene has become one of the most influential bluegrass band of the last 30 years. It has been said that watching Valerie Smith perform is "like being an eye-witness to a thermonuclear explosion!" Her boundless energy and explosive delivery ensures that audiences are treated to unique and memorable performances every time.
