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.
