Session Americana huddles close to a table wired for sound, with suitcase drums, an electric bass, and a pump organ on the perimeter. With five writers, and all six of these Boston all-stars sharing lead vocals, you never know what’s coming next, only that you can’t wait to find out. After ten years of building audiences and winning awards in Boston, the Northeast, and Europe, 2015’s Folk Alliance exposed the band to the national industry. Invitations to showcase at the AMAs, join a national booking agency, be the closing act at Sister’s Festival, and play Rocky Mountain Folks Fest followed.
