Tim Eriksen is widely regarded as "the best ballad singer of his generation" (BBC Radio). He combines spellbinding vocals with savvy arrangements for fiddle, banjo, guitar and bajo sexto, transforming American tradition with a "northern roots" Americana sound that embraces old New England murder ballads, “shape-note” gospel and haunted originals alongside Southern Appalachian and Irish songs. 

The evening will open with a set of Tim Eriksen performing solo acoustic, and will then move into the amplified sound of the Batteries Die Media Ensemble, which Eriksen co-leads with CU faculty member Michael Theodore.

Batteries Die is part rock band, part experimental sound collective and features special guest artists Janet Feder, Mark McCoin, Lina Bahn, Glen Whitehead, Sam Gathman, Curtis Broome, Cole Ingraham and Ryan Wurst.

Admission is free and open to the public.

Note: 
If the show is listed as sold out, it is still possible to see the performance.

This is because not every reserved ticket holder shows up, allowing room for waiting list ticket holders and those without reservations. Also, when all seats are taken, there is usually space for additional audience members to stand and/or sit on the floor during the performance.

Please arrive at least 15 minutes before curtain time. 

It is not necessary to print out a physical ticket. At the Black Box entrance, your name will be checked off against a list of ticket holders and those on the waiting list.
