Folk Artist Tim Eriksen to Release New Album, 10/23

New England Folk/Americana artist Tim Eriksen is set to release his new album on October 23, entitled 'Josh Billings Voyage.' Eriksen is an American musician, musicologist, and professor. He is the leader of the band Cordelia's Dad, a solo artist, and was a performer and consultant for the award-winning soundtrack of the film COLD MOUNTAIN.

“I’ve been fascinated by the presence of the world in every place, and the presence of every place in the world. The influence of travel and contact on music in small places,” Eriksen said. “When people talk about traditional music or folk songs, they often imply isolation. But even in the smallest places, travel has more to do with how music develops than isolation does. By making this sideways, half-told story, I can get at a number of things by implication, that take me hours to say in complete sentences.”
