State College Irish Sessions

Come join Irish music players from the State College, PA  area for an open Irish session!  We have been gathering and playing together since 2002!.  We play known tunes together and to learn new ones. All levels of musicians playing traditional instruments are welcome, we play and learn by ear and no invitation is necessary- just come and play, or just listen! If you plan to listen, arrive early as the seating is frequently full. Our session focuses mostly on instrumental tunes with the occasional song.
