Sofia Talvik – Americana / Folk with Swedish Roots
Unmistakably Nordic in flavor, Sofia Talvik somehow still conforms to American interpretations of her own original music, a North Sea siren blending sparkle and melancholy, creating a special niche of folk music.

On my Great Lakes Tour I stopped by the Daytrotter studios in Rock Island, IL to do my second session. It was just released and you can listen to it here!

We’ve made it up to the state of ten thousand lakes, or Minnesota as you may know it. Weather is beautiful but oh so cold. Luckily we have been hooked up and able to run the heat in Lil’Chief at night.
We stopped by Rock Island, IL to do a Daytrotter Session. This will be my second one, so keep your ears open for the release in a few weeks.
Then we had a wonderful concert at Three Springs Barn in Wisconsin! What a wonderful venue! Thank you again Jeff and Erin for hosting us.
After that we stopped by Sioux Falls for a White Wall Session, which will air on local South Dakota TV in a few months. And last night we were graced with disco lights and smoke machine in Madison, SD!
Unless we freeze to death we’ll see you soon in Minnesota, Wisconsin and Michigan soon!
We’re almost three weeks into touring. So what has went down since we left Richmond, TX, where we picked up Lil’Chief? Well we had a nice visit in New Orleans where we didn’t get shot at, headed up through an ungodly hot Mississippi (no AC in the RV at night) and then back into Texas.
Driving from Texarkana to Waxahachie we decided to stop in Greenville, TX, for lunch. As some of you might remember that’s where Lil’Chief broke down on the last tour. White Trash McGyver finally got Lil’Chief running enough to take us to a mechanic that fixed him up, but not before half of Greenville showed up and offered their help, hamburgers, coffee and more. So driving in to Greenville I posted a pic on Facebook …
Soon to be followed by this post:
Yep, we broke down in Greenville – AGAIN! It must be something with that town. Anyway, within a few minutes some helpful people had pulled over, helped push Lil’Chief to a nearby parking lot and even went so far as to go 40 miles to buy a new ignition coil for us. Thank you Larry and Michael!! I’m telling you, if you are to break down anywhere, make sure it’s in Greenville.
Onward we went to Waxahachie and In The Music Room, Studio and Listening Room where I shared a wonderful evening with Texas local Sherita Perez! Make sure you check out her music! By the way, here’s Randy (the founder, owner, promotor and all over sweetheart) sporting my tour t-shirt!
And here’s me performing at In The Music Room!
After a stop in Jonestown, TX where I was fortunate enough to be backed up by my favourite pedal steel player, Tim Fleming, (who came all the way from California to play with me) we headed on all the way up to Tulsa, OK and onward to Iowa.
And this is where I woke up today, the last of my oh so lovely Iowa shows tonight in Cedar Falls. Then I’m doing a little detour into Illinois before I head north.
Here’s what’s left of the tour. Please go to https://sofiatalvik.com/gigs for all dates, addresses and other info. See you on the road!
The first round of concerts for my fall tour in the USA is announced. More might be added. To keep up with all the dates, check in on sofiatalvik.com/gigs
Oh My God! I was the biggest X-files fan when I was a teen and had a huge crush on David Duchovny! Since then I have also followed the awesome TV show Californication. Needless to say I was surprised to find out that he was releasing an album, this guy seems like he has too many talents!
So it is with great pleasure that I can announce that I will open his Munich concert at Freiheiz on May 18th. I start at 7.30 and David will be on stage at 8.
