SUMMARY:The Seldom Scene
DESCRIPTION:Fri. Nov. 27: An Evening with THE SELDOM SCENE -7:30pm- Dry B
 ranch Fire Squad will NOT be appearing on this show. Tix: $45.00 ($60.80
  through Ticketmaster\, $52.00 at the Birchmere Box Office) Fifty-three 
 years into a legendary career\, much has changed about The Seldom Scene\
 , starting with the venerable progressive bluegrass quintet’s various li
 neup iterations over time. But even as band members have stepped in and 
 out of various roles\, what’s most important is what hasn’t changed: an 
 undeniable knack for blending both old and new music and traditions with
 out sacrificing what makes either potent and durable. Their current iter
 ation is a true blue lineup: guitarist mandolin player Lou Reid\, bassis
 t Ronnie Simpkins\, banjoist and fiddler Ron Stewart\, dobro player Fred
  Travers\, and guitarist Clay Hess. Since they started up together in 19
 71\, The Seldom Scene has dexterously performed original and traditional
  songs while presenting fiery and soulful reinterpretations of material 
 by Merle Haggard\, James Taylor\, and more. The concept of bluegrass uns
 hackling itself from a conservative\, straight-ahead mindset seems like 
 a given now\, when some of its biggest stars fill stadiums and cross ove
 r with mainstream audiences\, but the continued presence of the Scene ac
 ts as a reminder that it wasn’t always so. Even if their playing style f
 eels more at home in intimate clubs\, where the audience can feel their 
 exuberance radiating from the stage\, the Scene’s elastic relationship t
 o genre established an important precedent that encouraged their contemp
 oraries and allowed bluegrass bands to expand their repertoire in ways t
 hat laid the groundwork for today’s bluegrass boom. Artist Website: http
