Initially formed as a trio in 2012 by Eric Gagne on guitar and vocals, Footings' sound embraces a sort of inner light derived from folk music, but surrounds it with a variety of rockist tropes.

Footings is a vehicle for the songs of Eric Gagne, often in performance with Jordan Holtz, Candace Clement, and Mia Govoni.

dynamic old-time trio steeped in the rich musical traditions of Appalachia and Ireland. Laura Feddersen (fiddle), Joel Wennerstrom (banjo), and Owen Marshall (guitar) play with tight rhythm, strong melodies, and a deep connection to traditional roots. With driving banjo, rhythmically rich fiddling, and expressive, melodic guitar work, their sound brims with energy, grit, and the unmistakable joy of playing together.

Joel Wennerstrom
Joel plays clawhammer banjo and guitar for contra and square dances in the New England area. Before moving to Boston in 2013, Joel lived in NYC, where he taught design and drawing at Pratt Institute. His playing is featured on various recordings, including Hammer & String’s “The Girl Who Broke My Heart” with Rhys Jones and Cleek Shrey, “Jumping Through Hoops” with Kristin Andreassen, Chris Eldridge and Paul Kowert, “The Pleasure of Your Company” with Harry Bolick, “All in Good Time”, with Alan Kaufman and Don Stratton, and “A Fiddler’s Sojourn” with Jeff Trippe.

Laura Feddersen
Laura grew up in a musical family in Bloomington, Indiana. After spending many a night sleeping in the bass case at dances and music parties, at the age of five she took up the fiddle herself, playing for the ceili and square dances in her hometown. Laura has since traveled extensively playing and teaching fiddle, and is well known for her unique and skillful take on Irish, American, and Irish-American traditional music. She now resides in Boston, where she has most recently recorded and performed with the projects "Ship in the Clouds", the Virtual Behan Sessions, and “Brightly or Darkly” with fiddler Nathan Gourley.

Owen Marshall

Vogue once called Owen Marshall “a guitar/mandolin/banjo player rivaled in character only by the occasional three-pronged carrot” (Vogue, 2009). A multi-instrumentalist and highly regarded accompanist in the traditional music world, Owen is known for his fluid bouzouki work and compelling guitar style. Over the past 20 years, he has toured and recorded with artists such as the Seamus Egan Project, Liz Carroll, Copley Street, Dervish, Riptide, The Press Gang, Jenna Moynihan, Haas/Marshall/Walsh, Pine Tree Flyers, A Christmas Celtic Sojourn, and has been involved on over 30 albums.

Jones’ subtle approach to fingerstyle remains uniquely idiosyncratic, having established and continued to innovate a deeply personal melodic grammar for the acoustic guitar and banjo that is witty, cleverly self-referential and tethered to the weight of reflection and memory. 

Lisa/Liza is the songwriting project of Portland singer and guitarist Liza Victoria. Throughout her catalogue of songs, she affirms the value of music and songwriting in her life, providing comfort through illness and isolation and helping to hold onto cherished memories through the poetry she sings.
