Laura Feddersen

Laura Feddersen 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, Wooden Nickels, the Virtual Behan Sessions, and Life is All Checkered with fiddler Nathan Gourley.
