- **Event Description**: Dynamic Trio “Wooden Nickels” Brings the Music of 
Appalachia and Ireland to Kennebunk

Wooden Nickels, a dynamic trio steeped in the rich musical traditions of Appalachia and Ireland, brings their high-energy music to Kennebunk for the October edition of the long-running “Concerts in West K!” series. Consisting of Laura Feddersen (fiddle), Joel Wennerstrom (banjo), and Owen Marshall (guitar), the group’s music is deeply rooted in tradition, with a sound characterized by tight rhythm and strong melodies. With Wennerstrom’s driving banjo, Fedderson’s rhythmically rich fiddling, and Marshall’s expressive, melodic guitar work, their music is brimming with energy, grit, and the unmistakable joy of playing together. 

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

Joel Wennerstrom plays clawhammer banjo and guitar for contra and square dances throughout New England. Before moving to Boston in 2013, he 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.

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 in over 30 albums.
