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.
News, videos and music from Swedish Singer/Songwriter Sofia Talvik.
I’ve gotten a lot of emails asking if it’s me doing the cover on “Morning has Broken” in the TV4 Nyhetsmorgon commersial. Yes it actually is! I also play all the instruments except the lovely trombone which Kristoffer Jonsson has contributed with (you can hear more from Kristoffer on my new album). Unfortunately the whole song is not available here on my website, but I’ve been told you can find it on www.piratebay.org 😉 (http://thepiratebay.org/torrent/4348331)
Here’s the commersial:
I’m still blogging on www.aftonbladet.se check out all the pics and stuff from the tour. Unfortunately only in Swedish.. here’s the direct link http://blogg.aftonbladet.se/24811
I did a bunch of interviews after my gig at the Lollapalooza festival in Chicago. Dell had a huge dome there filled with laptops where you could do your own mixtape. They made an interview with me after my gig.
Check it out here:
You can also make your own mixtape:
Dell is rocking all summer with the Dell Summer Rocks tour. Put together your own digital mixtape with one of our songs of course and check out the rest of the tour happenings [here].
So I had a little fundraiser for my new album a while back, and first of all I would like to say THANK YOU! to all of you that helped fund “Jonestown”. You are all mentioned in the booklet, and I will always remember your generosity. We have randomly picked five of you that will receive the album ahead of the release, and here are the winners (in no particular order):
Carlos Maria Bacigalupo, Argentina
Thierry Cote, Canada
Emil Ekman, Sweden
Matthias Mueller, Germany
Lionel Grenier, France
The album will be sent to you shortly.
I promise I’ll make a better blog about the tour, with pics and videos soon. But for now I have gathered a few interviews and stuff that has been written about my performance at Lolla. Check them out here:
