Yeah- I'll let Benny comment on that, but it was pretty great to watch him at like eleven years old out-thrashing the mohawk kids.

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.

Hey Martha. Thanks for the vote of confidence. And Ericka, nice to hear from you. You still at CP or somewhere up north? I think we got a note from MOMCC recently, so maybe something will happen with that.

Hey Joyce. I'd love to get back to Vancouver Island! I've got family up in Whistler and haven't been to BC in a while (played some festival and other gigs on the island way back when- 1997? Yikes...)

Thom and Effie- hope to see you in a bit...

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...)

Thanks everyone! Please email magdalena-at-timeriksenmusic.com for a link to a song download. We started sending you Facebook messages with the link to the song, but after we sent five of them Facebook decided we were engaging in "abusive behavior" and told us to stop.

The first time I heard Tim Eriksen, I was hooked. His haunting vocals took me straight to a time when the earth was still and people actually communicated with eachother face to face. It made me want to listen to music again.

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!

Yeah, cool John. It makes me wonder why I thought it was the Campbell's are Coming. Maybe Glen Campbell did overtone singing too...

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."
