Guitar and Bass Conversations
Interview With Seldom Scene Bassist Ronnie Simkins
I’ve always loved listening to Bluegrass music, and I especially enjoy chatting with their bass players. Recently, I had the pleasure of speaking with Ronnie Simpkins, the bassist for The Seldom Scene, a renowned Bluegrass band from Bethesda, MD.
The band just released their new album, “Remains to Be Scene,” in March 2025 (available on Amazon.com).
Join me as we hear all about Ronnie’s musical journey, how he gets his sound, details about his band, and their plans for the future.
