Session Americana, the roots roundtable whose accidental beginning in a small Cambridge pub has grown into a local phenomenon, has drawn praise from fans (of all ages!), accolades from the press and has become a magnet for like-minded musicians who appreciate the spontaneity, simplicity, and devil-may-care attitude that makes the band so much fun to watch.
The core group of Ry Cavanaugh, Sean Staples, Jimmy Fitting, Billy Beard, Dinty Child and Kimon Kirk sit in a circle around one microphone and play music from their memory, pulling out some old and some not-so-old nuggets steeped in the tradition of American blues, country, rock and folk -- the music that has become known as Americana. Fans such as Mark Erelli, Peter Mulvey, Kris Delmhorst, Patty Griffin, Peter Wolf and many others have been known to stop by and sit in for a few songs with the band.
The new CD, "Beer Town: The Table Top Collective Vol. 3" was produced by Billy Conway and engineered by Matt Malikowski. Guest musicians on the new CD include Jennifer Kimball, Rose Polenzani, Jabe Beyer, Jordan Caress, Dan Kellar, and Mark Chenevert.
Hey gentlemen. I have heard people rave about your band several times now, but still haven't been to a show...this is what I get for being an out-of-towner.

I'm having so much fun listening to your music. I want to drive to Boston, have a beer, and listen to you play live!
Ry:
Your Baltimore fan club is in full effect. What a great bunch of guys you're playing with -- any chance you guys could try playing a folk version of "Run to the Hills?" I hear Maiden are back together. Anyway, Session Americana is the new Apple Pie -- a real slice of, well, Americana. Say hello to Max next time you see him for me.
