The "session" (or seisun, in Irish) is a gathering of people for the purpose of experiencing traditional music... either singing, playing, or dancing.

Our sessions are open sessions, and anyone who is interested is invited to attend. You can play an instrument, sing a song, tell a few jokes, or just sit and listen. We have lots of fun at sessions.

Sessions are regularly scheduled several times each month. (See below for actual dates, times and driving directions for all sessions.) In Little Rock on the second Saturday of each month we have an outdoor session at the River Market as weather permits. On the 2nd & 4th Mondays of the month we have session at the brand new Cregeen's Pub at 301 N Main, North Little Rock. In Conway on the first Thursday of the month we have a session at Something's Brewing. On the 3rd Monday of each month we have another Conway session at Joey's Seafood & Grill. There is also a regular session in Hot Springs Village on the last Saturday of the month at the Last Chance Cafe.

There are also ongoing regular 'sister sessions' in Fayetteville and Fort Smith.

Click HERE for lists of the tunes that one would normally hear played at a typical ACMS session. This information is to assist new players when deciding which tunes to practice for session. To see a list of all the tunes contained in tunebooks normally used by ACMS players click here. Tune books are available but since all tunes are "traditional" they are readily available on the Internet.
