Eric’s intricate fiddling, singing, and foot percussion has been a joyful presence on the New England traditional music scene since 2015.

More about the trio:
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.

From the rust belt to the Blue Ridge, cold spring in New England to a summer’s night in Charlottesville; his original songs seek out beauty in the search and struggle for understanding. Andrew blends traditional folk, old-time, country and western swing with a deep appreciation of indie-roots-Americana and artists like Jeff Tweedy, Richard Thompson, Gillian Welch, Sufjan Stevens and Townes Van Zandt.
