Music Style rock & roll,rhythm and blues

Artist History The Sess, originally from the San Diego area, have been playing music together consistently for the past 4 years. Within those years they've developed more than just band chemistry; the time has been well spent experimenting with sounds, songwriting techniques and creating something that they are proud to claim as their own. There are four members in The Sess, all of which are experienced songwriters with their own style. An example of a few mentors or inspirations would include: Brian Wilson, The Who, The Clash, The Kinks and The Beatles. The actual sound itself is more of a soulful rock (not garage, not alternative not electro-clash, just good soulful rock and roll). Members Mark (bass) and Sam Rivera (guitar) are brothers who have been playing music together from a very early age.In their high school years they started a band with cousins Andrew (drums) and Daniel Montoya called Logos. A band with a very strong San Diego following still to this day. (Daniel Montoya later went on to join a band by the name of Dogwood.) The guys met up with (guitarist) Jeremy Rojas in 1999 and everything fell into place. The sound was right, the vibe was right, the time was right. From this point The Sess have been writing and preparing material, playing shows in the California area, recording and developing a following in the Los Angeles area. When you’ve got something good you’ve got to make it better; successfully so, The Sess have done just that, and will continue to so as they are serious musicians with a strong passion for the art. Let the music speak for itself and it will say wonderful things to your body and your mind.

Press Reviews "So, okay, I'm on a roll here in terms of hot sounds and good vibes. It is, indeed, good times with Riverside's THE SESS, who have been popping up here and there at venues like The Hub in the last couple of months to the happy sighs and bobbing heads of many a pseudo-hipsters and closet Rolling Stones fan. The Sess (pronounced "Thuh Sesh") have got that whole irreverent, lo-fo, nostalgic minimalist '60's rock thing down to an absolute art-cool. Light, off-key and strained vocals combined with dancing, clean guitar tones (distortion? Who needs distortion?) as well as a very welcoming, small-sound-but-big-crowd kinda vibe. Their button reads "SESS TIME" and there certainly is no better time than now." -Mean Street magazine, Southern California's #1 Free Magazine resource. (Vol. 13.10/April/2003)
