Back by popular demand….Session Americana graces our stage once more. Late one Sunday night in October 2003, Session Americana had its first jam around a table in the back of Toad (RIP) in Cambridge, Massachusetts. Looking back, the group has 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, they have made 10 records, played clubs and festivals across the US and Europe, and developed some deep collaborative bonds with a wide community of musicians. Their diligent avoidance of music business “shoulds” have led them down a quirky and joyful path through the music world and the result is evident in the musical prowess they bring to every show. Swapping instruments, lead vocals and their original songs, Session America is constantly exploring new collaborations and touring like a band out of time, still searching for a welcoming and homey venue, a long lunch with old friends and a good glass of wine.

Eleanor Buckland touring “in the band” brings a wealth of experience performing ad collaborating, a powerful rhythm guitar, fiddle chops, sophisticated and soulful singing and a pile of great songs.

“Buckland’s folksy drawl plays perfectly with the fresh set of pop tunes that are seemingly built for fans of contemporary FM radio acts like Kacey Musgraves and Taylor Swift, both nostalgically rustic and immediately modern.” – WBUR
