Sprag Session<br />
The Seahorse Tavern is<br />
presenting Sprag Session<br />
this Saturday. Sprag<br />
Session has developed a<br />
unique style and repertoire<br />
of music. Lingering<br />
somewhere amidst the<br />
rich, soulful roots of<br />
traditional Cape Breton<br />
music and the grooves<br />
of a thousand branches<br />
of rock and funk, Colin<br />
Grant embarks on his<br />
latest project. Together<br />
with The Modern Grass<br />
and The Fourth Wall,<br />
the tavern will be the<br />
place to be for a night<br />
that features everything<br />
from wild new flare<br />
to the east coast fiddle<br />
sound.<br />
