Bushkill
Sessions
Tune into the sacred space where The Band, Dylan, Hendrix, Todd Rundgren and so many more created history, and come away with your own piece of culture-driving content.

In one bucolic afternoon, artists come away with:
Three state-of-the art live in-studio video performance cuts
An insightful and beautifully lit video interview
A suite of photos
