Life Is All Checkered - Nathan Gourley & Laura Feddersen

2014

This is their debut album of Irish Traditional Music on two fiddles, with guitar backing from Brian Miller

Nathan Gourley and Laura Feddersen are two of America's most highly regarded young players of traditional Irish music. Their playing is steeped in lifelong study of the Irish tradition, and is at same time colored by their American roots. They have developed a unique style of twin fiddling, sometimes playing in taut unison, sometimes exploring chordal harmonies and rhythmic and melodic variations. Nathan adds tastefully intricate chords and driving rhythm on guitar.
