    FAR-West Community: The Woodshed Sessions Presents
    “Americana Bridge: Trad Meets the Modern Singer-Songwriter”
    Hosted by Susie Glaze
    The Woodshed Sessions Presents “Americana Bridge: Trad Meets the Modern Singer-Songwriter” was conceived to showcase how the modern “Americana” song composer utilizes elements of traditional songs, melodies, themes and topics, for modern songwriting, setting up the use of older forms and bringing a contemporary vision to the universal elements of the human condition in music.  Our artists reveal the powerful pull to the older stories in the tunes they write and perform today.
