The Sunday concert will happen as planned - the weather shouldn't get really bad until long after everyone is home. As of Sunday morning, we have not decided about the Monday night workshop - check http://crossroadsconcerts.org/?page_id=4231 for updates.
Tim Eriksen & Friends Hard core Americana "Best known for his haunting music for the film Cold Mountain... helped ignite the string band revival with Cordelia's Dad... focused fresh attention on 19th-century shape note singing with Northampton Harmony. Wild, beautiful, and full of unexpected moments; at once sweepingly epic and as intimate as a lover's whisper." - Boston Globe Concert: Sunday, October 28 at 801 South 48th Street, Philadelphia Shape note singing workshop: Monday, October 29 at Studio 34, 4522 Baltimore Ave, Philadelphia Tim Eriksen is acclaimed for transforming American tradition with his startling interpretations of old ballads, love songs, shape-note gospel and dance tunes from New England and Southern Appalachia. He combines hair-raising vocals with inventive accompaniment on banjo, fiddle, guitar and bajo sexto - a twelve-string Mexican acoustic bass - creating a distinctive hardcore Americana sound that ranges from the bare bones of solo unaccompanied singing through stripped-down voice and bajo sexto to the lush, multi-layered arrangements on his new album of northern US roots music.
