At The Colonial Continues with Session Americana The newly renovated Colonial Theatre in Bethlehem, NH, with the support of White Mountain Footwear, is pleased to present Session Americana as part of its LIVE! At The Colonial concert season Saturday, June 2. Session Americana is a rock band in a tea cup, or possibly a folk band in a whiskey bottle.

The anything-could-happen feel of a Session show depends on craft that’s not accidental or easily won; they bring a kind of ease and genuineness to this timeless music, sometimes presenting the latest batch of origi- nal songs, sometimes reaching back into depths of the American “song bag”.
