Tim Eriksen ...and by local support I mean a local or nearby musician or band to share a bill at The Ark with me. I would ask the University Symphony Orchestra, but I don't think they'd fit in the dressing room.
Tim Eriksen Looking for local support for a solo acoustic show in Ann Arbor. Either indie rock or old-time would be great. Any ideas?
Tim Eriksen West Coast tour in January: LA, Berkeley, Cottage Grove, Portland w/Rachel Taylor Brown and Brothers Young, Seattle w/the Tallboys. Details to follow!
Tim Eriksen So KATE, DEREK and KRISTEN: there will be a pair of tickets for each of you waiting for you to pick up at the venue on Friday. That was fun!
Tim Eriksen Wow, that was fast! So KATE, DEREK and MEL get a pair of tickets each- Mel, you can give them to whomever you want, AND If you can't think of anyone, we'll put that pair up for offer again. I'll do your song anyway...

Tim Eriksen Well, didn't get that Latin Grammy last night- kind of like most nights. Now I'm backstage in Cedar Rapids, Iowa with Beausoleil on stage and half a thing of kung fu chicken staring at me- ah, the glamour!
Tim Eriksen
Fans of singer and multi-instrumentalist TIM ERIKSEN (Cordelia's Dad, "Cold Mountain" soundtrack) know him for his hair-raising voice and intense renditions of ancient American songs. Tim combines raw vocals with savvy arrangements for fiddle, banjo, guitar and bajo sexto and alternates stripped-down story songs with q...uirky originals. His hardcore Americana sound is a tightrope walk balancing tradition and innovation, as befits someone who has shared the stage with both Doc Watson and Kurt Cobain and recorded with both Ralph Stanley and Jack White.
Tim Eriksen's new solo album "Northern Roots Live in Namest" (Indies Scope, 2009) highlights the power of New England murder ballads, stark "shape-note" tunes and love songs with a dose of Irish and Southern Appalachian sounds.
Tickets: $17 general admission

Tim Eriksen Can anyone describe my music in fifteen words or fewer? I need some more help in the unapologetic marketing department. If you can I'll send you a song or maybe one of those facebook potted plants or something (a fruitcake?) Hint: it should probably be more than one word, especially if that word is a pork product. Tha...nks in advance! Meanwhile I'm off on a midwest mini-tour. Hope to see you there (or somewhere...)
Tim Eriksen I'm switching email providers for my mailing list. If you're on it, you'll receive a "confirmation message" within the next couple of days. Apologies for the pestering but it's required by the provider. You don't have to do anything to remain on the list. Happy Halloween!

Here's a link to an interview I did on KPFA Berkeley last Sunday which will be up for the next ten days.

Tim Eriksen Formerly based in Minneapolis, Tim Eriksen returns to the Midwest for a solo acoustic tour in support of his new CD "Northern Roots Live in Namest." The program is an exciting combination of ancient New England ballads, chilling shape-note harmonies, old-time Appalachian favorites and originals, including Tim’s unique,... virtuosic arrangements for bajo sexto (twelve string acoustic bass) and what Garrison Keillor, hosting Tim on The Prairie Home Companion, described as "horrifying songs."
