Daymark is Will Woodson (flute, border pipes), Dan Foster (fiddle) and Eric McDonald (guitar, vocals).
Each member of the trio had carved their individual musical pathways through diligent listening and study, extensive travels, and numerous performances in Ireland, Scotland, England, America, and Canada before meeting at the Northern Roots Festival in Vermont during the winter of 2015. Over a long night of music, they discovered a natural fit of individual styles, as a well as a mutual interest in the same corners of the Irish tradition. In Daymark’s sound one can hear the echoes of Irish-American dance halls from the 1920s and 30s, the lonesome tones of Donegal country fiddlers, and the rollicking smoky pubs of Northern England’s immigrant neighborhoods.
Foster hails from Northern England, and developed his music in the lively session scene there, going to study at Newcastle University’s Folk Degree course before honing his fiddle style in Limerick under master musicians. Woodson holds a master’s degree in traditional music from the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland in Glasgow, and in addition to his musical work is an established pipemaker, performing on an instrument of his own construction. McDonald is a native of Boston, and learned his music in the city’s sessions and folk clubs before studying at the famed Berklee College of Music. All three have spent the first decade of their musical careers performing with countless projects and recording a number of albums. Together as Daymark, the collective experiences of the three coalesce into an altogether compelling musical force.
