If you’ve seen the 2004 Academy Award-winning Civil War drama Cold Mountain, you’ve heard musician Tim Eriksen. Drawing on his deep knowledge of musical traditions, the singer and multi-instrumentalist lent his chops to the film’s Americana soundtrack. A player of banjo, fiddle, guitar and bajo sexto — a Mexican 12-string acoustic bass — Eriksen has served as front person for groups such as folk-noise band Cordelia’s Dad, shape-note quartet Northampton Harmony, and Bosnian folk and pop band Zabe i Babe. The Americana master brings his powerful interpretations of ballads, shape-note hymns and dance tunes to a Green Mountain State concert.
