Back by popular demand, the Vermont Arts Exchange (VAE) is thrilled to welcome Session Americana to perform at VAE’s Basement Music Series for the second time this season. Don’t miss your chance to be in the room for this amazing performance.
Session Americana is described as a rock band in a teacup, or possibly a folk band in a whiskey bottle. This band/collective of talented musicians, craft a 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". David Greenberger of NPR states,"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".
