SESSION AMERICANA w/ Eleanor Buckland in the band
The Rattle & The Clatter: 20 Years (so far) of Session Americana

Come out and celebrate 20 years of boisterous live music by one of The Avalon’s favorite bands!

We’re talking, of course, about Boston-based Session Americana, a band “whose members have played with a variety of acts including Patty Griffin, Josh Ritter and the J. Geils Band, (and) expertly blend vintage American roots music styles — from country to jazz to rock — in a rowdy but deft fashion.” (Rolling Stone)

Session Americana is a cast of top-shelf players, singers, and writers who tour internationally, taking their own songs, plus hundreds more from the American songbook, on the road. Whether you catch them in a rock hall, in a festival venue, or on the cozy Avalon stage, you’ll be a part of the intimate, raucous scene these players built decades ago at Toad, the neighborhood bar where it all began in Cambridge, Massachusetts.

Eleanor Buckland 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 Brooklyn, 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.
