The Seldom Scene

It has been a few years since the Seldom Scene have played Wintergrass. They will be performing both on Saturday and Sunday of the 2008 festival. They have just released their first cd SCENEchronized in about 7 years on the Sugar Hill label. The Seldom Scene’s performances are always highly entertaining showcasing their great musicianship, harmonies, song choices and personalities. The band has been playing since 1971 and has even played the White House. Based out of the Washington DC area they spent many years playing every Thursday night at The Birchmere in Alexandria, VA where they still play occasional shows including New Year’s Eve.

Band members are: Founding member Ben Eldridge- banjo, Dudley Connell - guitar, Lou Reid-mandolin, Fred Travers-Dobro, Ronnie Simpkins-bass.
