The Seldom Scene is a bluegrass institution
Since 1972, the group has remained quintessential bearers of the tradition, releasing nearly two dozen albums that cast a wide net for inspiration and repertoire. Remains to Be Scene is no exception, delivering stirring takes on bluegrass standards and providing their signature interpretations on deep cuts from the likes of The Kinks, Bob Dylan, and Jim Croce. The album is the frst to be released since the passing of founding member and trailblazing banjo player Ben Eldridge, who contributes impassioned liner notes to the release. Beneath the album’s title lies a plain truth: more than ffty years in, The Seldom Scene are looking ever forward.
