Session Americana

“The group… expertly blends vintage American roots music styles – from country to jazz to rock – in a rowdy but deft fashion.” – Rolling Stone

Tickets: $30 (fees not included)

Late one Sunday night in October 2003, Session Americana had its first jam around a table in the back of a bar in Cambridge, Massachusetts.

Looking back, the group has had a natural, almost inevitable evolution from a loose bunch of friends sitting around swapping songs in a bar, to a hot-ticket weekly residency, to a touring collective.

Along the way, the band has made nine records (so far), played clubs and festivals across the U.S. and Europe, and developed deep collaborative bonds with a wide community of musicians. Session Americana's diligent avoidance of music business “shoulds” has led the band down a quirky and joyful path through the music world.

The result is evident in the musical prowess the players and singers bring to every show. Swapping instruments, trading off lead vocals and sharing songwriting credits, Session Americana is constantly exploring new collaborations and touring like a band out of time, always searching for a welcoming and homey venue, a long lunch with old friends, and a good glass of wine.
