The Syracuse Irish Session

The Syracuse Irish Session has been performing in Central New York since 1995. Their music originates in the dance traditions of Ireland and Scotland but also includes related music from America, Canada, and elsewhere. Tunes are drawn from the thousands of jigs, reels, hornpipes and other dance melodies which have been passed down from generation to generation. The Session is neither a band nor a free-for-all jam. The musicians perform in a "session" ("seisiun" in Gaelic), which is a spontaneous social gathering unique to the traditional music culture. A musician might start up one tune and then pass it on to another player with a simple nod or glance as others join in. At its best, the music is unpredictable, joyous, thrilling. In any case, it is always fun.
