The Mighty Fine Sessions – Volume Two – "Juice From The Squeeze"
Recorded over a five-year period, the Mighty Fine Sessions harvest more than twenty-five years of musical friendship and collaboration. On back porches, in living rooms, at festival campsites, and, now and again on stages and in studios, this informal circle of dedicated musicians has been making music together for as long as we’ve known one another.
Volume Two celebrates a musical rendezvous that has taken place in the heart of New England each October for more than twenty-five years.
Once the leaves begin to turn and the apples ripen, a diverse tribe of musicians spanning three generations gathers by invitation at a quiet location not far from the Quabbin reservoir in central Massachusetts.
They meet to celebrate The Big Squeeze, and apples are, indeed, pressed into cider there – fresh, tart, and sweet. But those who come, come mainly to quench their thirst for another elixir – spontaneous, home-grown music.
For three days and nights, in ever shifting combinations, regardless of the weather or time of day, they will feast and play together, circled round campfires or sheltered within large, stove-warmed tents, gathering in a moment by moment harvest of songs, fiddle tunes and improvisations that fuse, as they lift skyward, into something very much more than the sum of its parts.
Taste for yourself: Here's a cup of fresh Juice from The Big Squeeze.
