Tour breakdown and live album

So the other day White Trash McGyver discovered that Lil’Chief (for you who do not know this, Lil’Chief is our tour RV) needed some new parts for the steering system. Upon taking Lil’Chief to the RV hospital, we realised that he was NOT covered by Obama-care or any other care for that part, and that we needed to cough up $600 from our hard earned tour money to get back to the road. And the doctors warned us that we should really get new brake pads as well, or Lil’Chief might not stop running until he falls over the edge of the world (which would be really bad if there are any red lights on the way).

So we decided to put together a live album from songs recorded at the Pittsburgh Winery on this tour, and if you want to help us cover Lil’Chief’s medical bill, you can buy this download for as much as you feel like you want to contribute with. It’s up for “pay what you want”. CLICK HERE!

The live album contains a bunch of the songs from my new album “Big Sky Country” as well as a few oldies, and was recorded by Stitch at Pittsburgh Winery on September 5th.

Thanks for helping Lil’Chief get well!

Lullaby video premiere

“Lullaby” is the second single from my new album “Big Sky Country“. I’m stoked to have the video featured on both PopDose as well as NoDepression!

For a long time this song had no name and when when I started playing it in concerts, I would ask the audience what they thought the name should be. After getting many suggestions a lady in Hamburg, Germany came up with the name Lullaby and finally the song got its name.

The video is recorded in a 1890’s farm in southern Texas. As the ghosts of time are moving through the rooms of this historic house you get a feeling of being in a timeless state where past and present blend to the tunes of the music.

““Lullaby” is a beautiful and warm piece and the imagery fits the dreamy nature of the song. Let yourself be lulled by the angelic vocals of Sofia Talvik and enjoy…” – PopDose

Filmed and edited by Jonas Westin. Thank you to Frank Briscoe for letting us use his beautiful house! Visit The Homeplace here!

Big Sky Country Tour 2015

July to October I will be doing a 20 state long tour through the U.S. Although I will not hit any of the Big Sky Country states I look forward to adding a few new states, such as Maine and Vermont to my collection. For the new tour, which starts in July and ends in October I will also be traveling in an RV which I hope will hold up for both this and future tours. You can check out all the tour dates here: https://sofiatalvik.com/gigs or track me on BandsInTown and don’t forget to follow my adventures on Facebook.

See you on the road!

More love from No Depression

No Depression, the Roots Music Authority keep showing their love for my new album Big Sky Country. Check out the latest review here:

“Big Sky Country, Sofia Talvik. Talvik’s angelic voice and folk/pop fusion remind me of the Sundays’ Harriet Wheeler and also of the early Marianne Faithfull.” (read more…)
