Act Four is a 1979 album released by the Seldom Scene on Sugar Hill Records (SH-3709), marking two firsts for the band: their debut on Sugar Hill—all prior albums were on Rebel—and their first with Phil Rosenthal (guitar, vocals), who replaced founding member John Starling following Starling's departure for a medical career. John Duffey (mandolin, vocals), Ben Eldridge (banjo, vocals), Mike Auldridge (dobro, vocals), and Tom Gray (bass, vocals) complete the lineup. The transition from Starling's warm baritone to Rosenthal's more folk-inflected lead voice shifted the band's texture while preserving the ensemble chemistry that had made the Seldom Scene Washington, D.C.'s premier progressive bluegrass act.
