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

SESSION AMERICANA is musicians’ musicians: a 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 at Toad, the neighborhood bar where it all began in Cambridge, Massachusetts.

“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 Boston-based 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
