Tim Eriksen at Newport

Back



www.timeriksen.net Tim Eriksen, Minja Lausevic and 70 friends sing an old shape-note/gospel song from Maine on the Newport Folk Festival main stage, 2006. Included in the remarkably diverse collection of songs in D.H. Mansfield's "American Vocalist," 1848. This song is presumably from, or heavily influenced by, African American tradition, while others show the influence of the Shakers, Native American Christians, English parish church musicians, the first few generations of New England composers, the Hutchinson Family, secular collections like the American Musical Miscellany (Northampton, MA 1787) and the oral tradition so prominent in 19th century camp meetings and other social gatherings. http://www.myspace.com/timeriksenmusic

I love your music. Thanks for keeping the good stuff popular! I would love for you to sing this song at Mount Lake Camp on Moose Mountain in Brookfield NH.

I just watched the movie Cold Mountain, I had to start searching for this voice. All I can say is Tim you should be standing in the ranks right along side Emmylou Harris Gillian Welch Patty Griffin Ralph Stanley. Absolutely unbelievable. I am just in awe.
