American roots music styles — from country to jazz to rock — in a rowdy
but deft fashion.” – Rolling Stone

Session Americana is a group of musicians’ musicians: a cast of top-
shelf players, singers, and writers: Billy Beard, Jon Bistline, Ry
Cavanaugh, Dinty Child, and Jim Fitting. From the beginning, there
were lines around the block to get into Toad and Lizard Lounge for
Session Americana’s weekly residencies in Cambridge, MA. Those
nights included an astonishing array of collaborations and sit-ins,
and long-term “seventh chair” guests.
