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 Wednesday November 12 at 21.30, you can hear me play live in Sveriges Radio P3. I did a live session in front of a sitting audience last week. There will be a short interview with me also.
So if you can’t catch me live in Stockholm soon, be sure to listen in on this exclusive live performance.
Tune in here on November 12th at 21.30:

Yet another post today. I’m keeping busy!
Sometimes I get fan mail and I try to answer them all, unless they’re really weird or really dirty. A while back I got a fan mail from a girl called Jenny. I laughed all day because of her email, because she requested a picture of me, but she wouldn’t settle for the usual press photo – she wanted a pic of me with an pet. I’m a big fan of Erik Eriksson’s book “Brev till samhället” which basically is Erik sending all sorts of weird letters to different companies, banks, gouverments etc, demanding all sorts of strange stuff and then publish their answers. I kind of felt this could be such an email, but then again, you never know so of course I answered her email as best I could.
But it did turn out to be a prank, or rather a study in how many celebs who actually answer their fans email. You can read the story (and the email and my answer) here:

Jag fick just en vänförfrågan från Jesus på Facebook och han har också blivit mitt fan på facebook. Måste bero på att jag döpt min skiva efter en kristen sekt…
Med andra ord är Jesus my homeboy. Om du också vil bli min homeboy can du adda dig här:

I’ve had a hectic day. This morning I woke up to several text messages from my friends telling me I’m on the cover of the two daily free-of-charge newspapers we have here in Sweden, Metro and City. After that I packed up my guitar and headed to the office of Sweden’s biggest newspaper Dagens Nyheter and guested them in their web TV cast, chatted with my fans and played a song live from the new album. One of my fans also allerted me on the chat that my blog on Aftonbladet.se is the third most read music blog in Sweden right now. That’s just awsome. So this is a happy day indeed.

I’ve just started a celebrity blog on aftonbladet.com and will write there all through my US-tour. I’m writing about my everyday life, the new album, the tour and my band. As it’s only in Swedish I’ll have a special video-blog in English here on my own website during the tour. For everyone who’d rather read my blog in Swedish, check it out here:
