A ROAMING GNOME from Session Americana; Island Barn Café / The Artifact
“The group, whose members have played with a variety of acts including Patty Griffin, Josh Ritter and the J. Geils Band, expertly blends vintage American roots music styles — from country to jazz to rock — in a rowdy but deft fashion.” – Rolling Stone
“Session Americana comes up with some gems, full of folk’s honesty and rock’s urgency.”
– The Boston Globe
“Session Americana has developed into a traveling medicine show which eschews snake oil in favour of an ongoing grail quest for the perfect collaborative experience.” – Hot Press Ireland
Session Americana spent time over the past couple of years working on new material and recordings. With the help of Alec Spiegelman (Cuddle Magic, Ana Egge), who edited and mixed songs recorded in various locations with various people, the recordings are now complete in the form of Island Barn Café the latest Session Americana record. But rather than a CD, vinyl, cassette or even digital release, there is only one copy of this record. It’s called The Artifact and the band has started a sort of “roaming gnome” with the album traveling from place to place being experienced and documented as it goes organically through the world. Imagine a Session Americana fan/friend gets a box in the mail with a little music player, some headphones and cables, a booklet. Will it be fun to put the headphones on and listen, maybe post a little photo on their socials or contact the band, and figure out who they would like to hand or mail it to next?
