Benicia Session Home

The Benicia Session group is a bunch of people who love playing Celtic music. It's a laid-back bunch of people of all skill levels who meet twice a month on the 2nd and 4th Sunday of each month, 2:00-5:00 pm, at Mare Island Brewing Co. Taphouse at 440 First Street on the sourtheast corner of E Street. We don't need Bruce Sprinsteen to have our own "E Street Band." We'll be playing upstairs where the acoustics are marvelous.

 

The first hour of the session is for learning new tunes or working out kinks in others. The second two hours are faster, but not blindingly fast. We allow sheet music since there are no Irish pubs nearby to learn the traditional way, and the other traditional way called "YouTube" would be impractical. All our commonly played tunes will be available on this web site (until someone brings in something new we all like).

 

We also have a mini laid-back session every 2nd and 4th Thursday at Bruehol Brewing, 4828 E. 2nd St., way out in the Benicia Industrial Park, from 4:00 to 8:00. There's beer and popcorn, bring your own food if you wish, and dress warmly in the winter. It's in the warehouse side and can get chilly.
