Arts Council of Tamworth

Arts Council of Tamworth will present musician and scholar Tim Eriksen to Tamworth for an intensive two-day residency in which he will discuss the history of music in New England towns and teach shape note songs and ballads to every kid in the K-8 school, to two or three local singing groups and other interested community members, and perform with his band The Trio de Pumpkintown in a Choose Your Own Ticket Price concert. On the second day students will sing all together at the end of the school day, and students and community members who wish to join Tim and his band and the local singing groups in performing a couple of numbers in the final evening concert will be invited to do so.
