More about the Grinding Stone trio:
Over the past two decades, multi-instrumentalist Owen Marshall has emerged as one of the foremost accompanists of traditional music. Known for his fluid and spontaneous bouzouki work and driving and melodic guitar accompaniment, Owen has toured and recorded with the Seamus Egan Project, Liz Carrol, Jenna Moynihan, The Press Gang, Allison DeGroot, and the Christmas Celtic Sojourn.
Eric Boodman fell in love with Québécois fiddle music while growing up in Montreal. He's delved into its history as a journalist and essayist for publications like The New York Times Magazine, and has brought his intricate fiddling, singing, and foot percussion to concert halls and dances on both sides of the Atlantic. Since 2015, he's been a joyful presence on the New England traditional music scene, playing with the party-band Calico and the Scandinavian-influenced trio Triga, among others. His energy is infectious: in his interpretation, you can't help but feel the beauty of these old songs and crooked tunes.
Accordionist/pianist Jeremiah McLane has a diverse musical background including blues, jazz, Celtic, Québécois, French, Scandinavian and other roots influenced music.
