Seldom Scene
The Scene began as a non-touring bluegrass band back in 1971 in jam sessions at the home of Ben Eldridge. 40 years later, this band has become one of the single largest contributers to the progression of bluegrass from the early days of Flatt and Scruggs and Bill Monroe to the more contemporary sounds that they developed.
