Rose Polenzani with Session Americana

UK critic Alan Pedder in a review of her November, 2005 residency at Lizard Lounge read: "You don't just listen to Rose, she happens to you."

"The crew blends all of this instrumentation into a seamless folk and country medley of exactly what their name implies: Americana at it's finest. It's as pure as anything I have ever heard—without pretense or too much thinking ahead. As comfortable to hear on a rickety Southern front porch in early June, as it would be on cold February night in Boston in front of a warm crackling fire." -Cover Story by Shady, The Noise Feb. 08
