Sunday School Sessions

The Sunday School Sessions is a recording project/collective that took place over a series of weekends between 2011 and 2013. It features musicians and songwriters from a number of bands including Hidden Highways, The Ambiance Affair, Master and Dog and The Crayon Set. The band met through mutual producer/recording engineer Ian McNulty and formed as a bit of an experiment to make some old style Americana, folk and country recordings.

The name grew from the joke that the music was "extracurricular" to our writing and playing in other bands. The recording sessions quickly evolved into a coherent set of songs and the limited timescale of weekends meant that there was much tracking live from the studio floor, with minimum overdubs. Over a period of just over 2 years, the band recorded an entire albums worth of mostly original material.

It is our hope that the record will not just be an end point in a collaboration but will provide a portal for new audiences to discover the music of the respective musicians whom came together to share their talents on the project. Having a live and performing group will help build a relationship with audiences as the live realm of performing has no substitution for making real and lasting connections with people.

Sunday School Sessions, the eponymous debut album will be released on Vinyl and download, in Early Winter, 2014.
