POSTPONED UNTIL FALL: Tim Eriksen performance at the Armory in Somerville

[rosiewoodboat.livejournal.com]

Sorry all, this event has been unfortunately postponed until the Fall.

Musical chameleon Tim Eriksen may be "one of the world's finest folk practitioners" (Toronto Star) and, according to T Bone Burnett "one of the best singers in music," but he's also a wicked electric guitar player who cut his teeth playing hardcore punk in the early 1980s, with the legendary proto-grunge band Cordelia's Dad, and eventually as the lone American in an East African gospel group. For the first time Eriksen will bring together some of the many phases of his musical career- traditional American and world folksong, his own compositions and improvisations- in a solo performance for voice and electric guitar. Think Bob Mould meets Martin Carthy at Boubacar Traore's birthday party.

This Thursday, 7-10 pm, at the Armory, as part of the Arts at the Armory program. 191 Highland Ave.

You can check out his website here as well.

Hope to see you there!

Ooof. Tough gig, playing against the Fireworks at Trum field. It sounds like a cool concert, and I feel bad for the guy, but I kind wanna go hang out outside (unless it's pouring rain, in which case this is a solid second choice).

All the better for those of us from out of town (not Somerville) who would never think of fireworks being a week early. :-)

I told Timmy he should bring sparklers.
