SESSION AMERICANA with Kris Delmhorst in the band

Session Americana live at Barbès, Brooklyn on Thu, Sep 10, 10:00 PM. Free entry. Lineup, start time and tickets on Ckord.

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 friend and collaborator Kris Delmhorst 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. 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" Watch the 20 year tribute video -------------------------- "I’m lucky to have known Session Americana for most of their twenty (!!!) years! I was just starting out as a songwriter when I discovered their residency shows at the Lizard Lounge in Cambridge. Pure magic. I’m misty-eyed now thinking about it! — ANAÏS MITCHELL (creator of Hadestown) “The group, whose members have played with a variety of acts including Patty Griffin, Josh Ritter and the J. Geils Band, expertly blends vintage American roots music styles — from country to jazz to rock — in a rowdy but deft fashion.” – Rolling Stone $20 strongly suggested
