SESSION AMERICANA with Eleanor Buckland

A group of musicians musicians, Session Americana deftly creates a unique live experience that celebrates the joy of the music and of each other and with the addition of singer-songwriter, guitarist and fiddle player Eleanor Buckland that joy has never been more evident. 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 Americana 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.

After completing a five week tour together earlier this year throughout Ireland and Europe the band will continue to be joined by singer-songwriter, guitarist and fiddle player Eleanor Buckland playing in the band. Eleanor made her start as one-third of Lula Wiles, the Boston-based folk-rock trio that became an acoustic music scene favorite with their three critically hailed albums. Now living in Durham NC, the singer songwriter has turned to a different side of her musical interests as a solo artist. Buckland’s debut album You Don’t Have To Know (released October 2021 on Soundly Music) sets her deeply personal songs against inventive indie rock arrangements.
