A little over a month ago I caught the boys of Session Americana just south of our little abode in Vermont. White River Junction is an interesting place. Part forgotten industrial town with its brick facades sporting fading painted signage overlooking a host of boutique’s and artist galleries. Up a steep staircase and through a bank of double doors sits another anomaly, the Briggs Opera House. The perfect setting for a Session Americana show for anyone who is a fan of Session Americana. Big enough to help the band fill the room and make a buck, but intimate enough to play host to what Session does best: have people all around them as they are all around their small circular table, throwing instruments at one another and swapping songs.

Here’s a little video I just dug off a memory card from that evening of drummer Billy Beard (sorry that we can barely see you back there on that kit Billy!) leading the band on the always entertaining and crowd engaging “Doreen”.
