Follow the Birds [Mar 28 – Apr 8]

“Follow The Birds” is a performance work featuring legendary folk-punk musician Tim Eriksen. The work is structured around songs written by Eriksen, along with centuries-old ballads that originally came to this country from English settlers. The songs float through a larger musical structure woven from experimental sound, jazz, noise, rock, and folk music, with arrangements and compositions from Michael Theodore and Conor Brown, and performed by a full band, with Janet Feder, Matt O'Koren, Annika Socolofsky, Nate Wheeler, and Glen Whitehead.

Performances are Friday, April 8, at 7 pm and 8:30 pm

About the Artists

Michael Theodore has been creating exploratory art works in various media for more than thirty years, including sound and music, large scale kinetic installations, moving images, and robotic drawings and paintings created collaboratively with AI. Theodore’s work has been presented across the United States, Europe, and Asia in concert halls, experimental media festivals, galleries and museums.

Tim Eriksen is acclaimed for transforming American tradition with his startling interpretations of old ballads, love songs, shape-note gospel and dance tunes from New England and Southern Appalachia. The former frontman of the prophetic groups Cordelia's Dad (folk-noise), and Žabe i Babe (Bosnian folk and pop), Tim Eriksen is the only musician to have shared the stage with both Kurt Cobain and Doc Watson, and his media appearances have ranged from Prairie Home Companion to the Academy Awards. Eriksen and CU professor Michael Theodore have a long history of collaboration, culminating in the new performance work, “Follow The Birds.”
