Honoring the Spirit of Samhain

This October edition of The LA Sessions ties into Samhain, the ancient Irish festival that marked the end of the harvest season and the beginning of winter, the ancient Irish festival that gave birth to Halloween. Originating in Ireland over 2,000 years ago, Samhain was a time for gathering, storytelling, and honoring shared cultural roots, themes that continue to resonate today through music and community.
