NEW SHOW ADDED! Due to the shows on 11/11 and 11/12 being sold out at The Burren Backroom we are excited to announce that we have added a new show on Monday 11/10 upstairs at McCarthy’s to accommodate those who couldn’t get tix for the Burren.
Session Americana returns to the road in November for an East Coast run with Eleanor Buckland in the band featuring two new albums recorded earlier this year and bringing their unique brand of original songs, instrument swapping and unbridled joy!
SESSION AMERICANA is a Boston based cast of top-shelf players, singers, and writers who tour internationally, taking their own songs plus hundreds more from the American songbook on the road. Whether you catch Session Americana in a rock hall or on a festival stage, you’ll be a part of the intimate, raucous scene these players built years ago with one simple credo—access the joy. And with Eleanor Buckland playing in the band, that joy has never been more apparent. A rock band in a teacup or a folk band in a whiskey bottle? Take your pick. From a whisper to a roar the band is constantly 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. 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.
"A raucous and holy thing! … Like, the job is simple— access the joy— and if you can do that, it opens a portal. I’m ever in awe of Session, individually and as a band. They’re so finely in tune with each other, with their audiences. I’m in awe of their bond, their easy laughter, their intuitive musical conversation" — ANAÏS MITCHELL
"It's right there in the name for this ultra-gifted, rotating collective of singers and multi-instrumentalists. And sprawl is a good word when it comes to the Bostonbased group's raucous live shows, which were initially built around the community concept of traditional Irish seisiúns. The group… expertly blends
vintage American roots music styles — from country to jazz to rock — in a rowdy
but deft fashion.” — ROLLING STONE
