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.
Me and my guitarist Marcus will rock the casbah at Berlin Bar, Skånegatan in Stockholm on Tuesday September 29th.
No admission, but the place tends to get packed so come early if you want a good spot. We’ll also have a special guest star for the evening. Don’t miss it!
See you there!
I’ll be doing a little tour in the US in the end of October. You can catch me live in New York at CMJ, in Washington DC at the House of Sweden, and the back in New York again for a gig at the Bowery Electric.
For all gig dates and information check my gig schedule here.

I’ll be doing three Christmas shows in Stockholm in December. Information in Swedish below:
Cornelisrummet, Mosebacke – 5, 6, 12 Dec 2009 – kl. 19:00
Passa på att besöka en annorlunda julkonsert i år! Singer/songwritern Sofia Talvik är känd för att bjuda sina fans på en gratis jullåt varje år och i december kan man dessutom njuta av dessa live på Mosebacke. Traditionella och otraditionella jullåtar blandas med Sofias egna när hon och hennes band bjuder in till julmys i Cornelisrummet. En hemlig gästartist utlovas också till vardera av konserterna, samt glögg och pepparkakor.
Cornelisrummet tar bara 50 personer så passa på att förboka dina biljetter nu. Pris 150kr.
Konserttillfällen: 5:e, 6:e och 12:e december
