Tim Eriksen

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.
