We're encouraging you to go out and sing.
Tim Eriksen, musical bon-vivant and renaissance performer, Amherst College professor of ethnomusicology, frequent collaborator with a wide swath of artists, founder of Cordelia’s Dad and most importantly this weekend on March 7 & 8, Chair of the Western Mass Sacred Harp Convention taking place in Florence at Bombyx. But in addition to teaching the next generation and helping 300+ folx to sing together in one place, he has a number of other projects in the works
We learn more about Sacred Harp singing as American tradition, as the nation peers into its 250th year, and learn about the many other things he’s getting up to including a performance with a new ensemble at the Drake later this month, working with Rhiannon Giddens, touring the UK and Ireland and lots more.
And a listener question that explores the ties between you and me...or is it you and I?
It’s both and everyone cares, so word nerd Emily Brewster, senior editor at Merriam Webster helps us discover why your ears lean towards pronouns the way that they do.
