Pumpkintown: a fictional village where the soundscape is 18th and 19th century sea ballads, fiddle tunes and afro/celtic gospel. This hard-driving Trio de Pumpkintown (Tim Eriksen joined by Zoe Darrow and Peter Irvine) blends fiddle, banjo, glockenspiel, guitar and bajo sexto (an twelve-string Mexican bass) on bare bones solo unaccompanied singing, stripped-down voice and bajo sexto, and lush, multi-layered arrangements of northern roots American music. They keep the true vine growing with innovative originals, but feed the roots with deep American folk tradition. Band leader Tim Eriksen, who has played with musicians ranging from Kurt Cobain to Doc Watson, is praised for his signature "stark songs and breakneck picking." -New York Times.
