Belleville Roots Music Series presents The Seldom Scene.

Opening for The Scene is Green Heron.

The Seldom Scene is an American bluegrass band formed in 1971 in Bethesda, Maryland. The Scene has been instrumental in starting the progressive bluegrass movement as their shows include bluegrass versions of country music, rock, and even pop. What does it take for a bluegrass band to remain popular for more than four decades? For The Seldom Scene, it’s taken not only talented musicians, a signature sound, and a solid repertoire, but also a sheer sense of fun.  Since forming 50 years ago, The Seldom Scene has brought both freewheeling joy and immaculate musicianship to their inventive take on bluegrass, displayed both in their original material and their spirited interpretations of songs from limitless genres.

Green Heron is a lively folk, old-time and bluegrass duo from southern New Hampshire.
