In October 2018, Sudbina Theater Co. will be traveling to Serbia to perform REFUGEE for Joakim Interfest, an international theaterfestival in Kragujevac, Serbia. This concert is in part to raise funds for our travels and production costs! We hope you enjoy the show!

TIM ERIKSEN
Tim Eriksen is "widely regarded as the best ballad singer of his generation" (BBC Radio). He combines hair-raising vocals with savvy arrangements for fiddle, banjo, guitar and bajo sexto, transforming American tradition with a "northern roots" sound that embraces old New England murder ballads, “shape-note” gospel and haunted originals alongside Southern Appalachian and Irish songs. Tim's latest solo album "Northern Roots Live in Namest" (Indies Scope 2009) celebrates the power of this music in concert.

Considered "among the world's finest folk practitioners" (Toronto Star) for his expertise in traditional song, Tim is also known for his own compositions - “strange and original works” (NetRhythmsUK) with a “rare sense of purpose” (Q Magazine) that have been included in films like the Billy Bob Thornton vehicle Chrystal and the upcoming feature documentary Behold the Earth. Eriksen's other notable work has included extensive contributions to Anthony Minghella’s 2004 Oscar-winning film Cold Mountain as well as collaborations ranging from hardcore punk and Bosnian pop to symphony orchestra and the 2009 Grammy-nominated album Across the Divide with Afro-Cuban world-jazz phenomenon Omar Sosa.

REFUGEE by Milan Dragicevich with Music by Tim Eriksen
A Tale of Family, Displacement, and Destiny, examines the lives of two Serbian sisters displaced at the El Shatt refugee camp on the Sinai desert during World War
