After test driving a few venues, the former Kichesippi session has landed at Hurley's in Stittsville.
We'll be playing acoustic celtic music the 2nd and 4th Mondays of every month, 6:30-9+ pm, starting May 11th. Looking forward to tunes in our new home!

Another great show at the Redbird last night with Robert Thomas & the Sessionmen. Ray Legere, Jon Arsenault & new member Jayden(I think?) did a fantastic job!

Sorry to announce that the last session at this location will be held Wed March 4th, 2026, 6-8:30 pm!
As the Kichesippi Tap room will be closing we are on the hunt for a new venue, TBA. Many thanks to KBeer for hosting us the past few years.

Just a reminder that the room will be ready to accept musicians at 6 pm for setup, tunes start around 6:20 pm. It's OK to arrive earlier, just don't expect to be seated as the room might be used for other events. In case of doubt you can always give the tap room a call.

Well, we're not really an old timey jam session.. but it's a lot of fun when Stacey "the gr***de" is in town!
