Hi All,
Just wanted to remind you to save the date
of Sat., May 18th @ 8:00 p.m. to hear Session
American at Stone Temple Coffeehouse at
United First Parish Church in Quincy.
Eileen
Session Americana is a rock
band in a tea cup, or possibly a folk band in a whiskey bottle. This
band/collective of talented musicians craft an musical experience unlike any
other. On stage is a collapsible bar table wired with microphones, a vintage
suitcase recast as a kick drum, an old Estey field organ, a pre-war parlor
guitar, a mandocello and all of its smaller siblings, a harmonica case fire
damaged when Jack's bar went up in flames and graffitied by Depeche Mode
roadies, and an assortment of other instruments that get passed around in this
freewheeling modern hootenanny. The anything-could-happen feel of a Session show
depends on craft that's not accidental or easily won; they bring a kind of ease
and genuineness to this timeless music, sometimes presenting the latest batch of
original songs, sometimes reaching back into depths of the American "song
bag".
Session Americana is an absolute must-see, must-hear.
Says David
Greenberger of NPR:"I'd give them 100 miles. That is to say, if they're playing
anywhere within 100 miles of your home, you drive there and are grandly rewarded
for your effort."
