Celebrating their 40th Anniversary in 2011, , the Seldom Scene has thrived on playing bluegrass a little differently than everyone else. If other bands used a fiddler, the Seldom Scene used a Dobro; if others relied on old standards, the Seldom Scene played rock classics like J.J. Cale's "After Midnight." Through skilled musicianship and an urban approach to bluegrass, the Seldom Scene has become one of the most influential – if not the most influential – bluegrass band of the last 30 years. The current lineup includes Ben Eldridge (banjo), Dudley Connell (guitar), Fred Travers (dobro), Ronnie Simpkins (bass), Lou Reid (mandolin).

Tickets can be purchased online or by mailing a check (payable to the BBU) and self-addressed stamped envelope to Boston Bluegrass Union, PO Box 650061, West Newton, MA 02465.

The National Heritage Museum is located at 33 Marrett Rd. (Route 2A), Lexington, MA 02421. Directions can be found at www.monh.org or call (781) 861-6559.

Doyle Lawson and Quicksilver continues to be one of the most respected and admired bluegrass bands around, winning the IBMA Vocal Group of the year from 2001-2007. Their gospel harmonies are simply the best in bluegrass, and they are fine pickers as well. Besides band master Doyle Lawson (mandolin), the current lineup of Quicksilver includes Jesse Baker (banjo), Corey Hensley (guitar), Carl White (bass), Josh Swift (dobro) and Jason Barie (fiddle).

With over 35 albums to their credit, Doyle Lawson & Quicksilver have multiple Grammy, Dove, ICM, IBMA and SPBGMA Award nominations. Doyle Lawson received two nominations in the 17th Annual Inspirational Country Music (ICM) Awards held in Nashville on October 28, 2011, with fellow nominees including such country giants as George Strait and Carrie Underwood. Lawson also won two IBMA Awards in September, and was recently heralded by journalist Craig Havighurst as “one of music’s lions at this point.”

A native Tennessean, Lawson is being honored this year by Governor Bill Haslam and the State of Tennessee for his contributions to the state and America through his music (Senate Joint Resolution 467).
