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.

Having played solo for the last few years I wanted to be able to offer an album that sounded more like my concerts do. So I decided to make an acoustic triple CD box out of my three latest studio albums, Florida, The Owls Are Not What They Seem, and Big Sky Country. The box is called “Sofia Talvik – Acoustic” and the songs on the CDs are all stripped down acoustic versions of the original studio tracks, featuring only my voice and one head instrument in the song (mostly guitar).

This album box is only available as a hardcopy (CD) and will not be available as a download. Order yours today, click here!

On my recent U.S tour I did a stop in Roswell, NM, where I stopped in for a live session at Secret Circus Studios. The guys in Secret Circus put out a new video ever Sunday, and I thought this acoustic take of “Give Me A Home” from my new album would be a little taste of what you can expect from the “Acoustic” box. You can subscribe to all their videos on their YouTube page.
