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.
I’m working my way through the USA going north on the East Coast. In this episode I’m playing at a rock, paper, scissors tournament, sing Bobby McGee with Dr Lou and check out where Snookie got knocked the fuck out!

So right now we’re booking the great plains of the MidWest for August and September. And this is where we want YOUR recommendations on where to play and what not to miss. We will try to stay on the 80 as much as possible. Also if you’re living in any of the following states: IA, NE, CO or WY we are now open for house concerts. Don’t hesitate to ask us if you have any questions about how this works, you can also read this post that I wrote a while back that roughly describes it. You can always get in touch with me through my contact page.
It’s been a while but finally I got around to finish episode 4 of Drivin’ & Dreaming! In this episode which is set in Virginia and Maryland Jonas shows hos skills as the grill master, we play a weird gig in Alexandria with people from “out of town” and we learn the motto of New Hampshire!

Sofia Talvik is doing her 100th gig on the tour tonight
Today May 29th I’m doing the 100th gig on the Drivin’ & Dreaming tour! We’ve had such a journey, been all through the deep south, in Texas for SxSW and back to the east coast, and now we’re hitting number 100 in New York City tonight at Pianos (7pm).
The tour has been amazing so far. I’ve experienced so much and met so many wonderful people. But it’s by no means over. We’re fully booked until August in NY, MA, ME, CT, PA, OH, IL and IA and we will keep on trucking towards the west coast. I hope to see so many more friendly faces and keep spreading my music like a wildfire over the US. If you haven’t got my new album yet there’s a limited amount of physical CDs for sale here!
Tonight only there will be free Drivin’ & Dreaming t-shirts for everyone (first come first served) so don’t miss out on celebrating my 100th gig with me at Pianos in NYC!
Here’s a selection of what people has said about my shows so far:
[quote] Of all the voices – and man, they seem to issue them at birth to Swedish women – Talvik has the most faith in hers in an “I don’t need a theatrical gimmick” kind of way.” [/quote]
– Austin Chronicle
[quote] Listening to her music, an otherworldly edge, surprising twists and powerful, haunting vocals make her much more than just another pretty folk-pop-acoustic performer.”[/quote]
– Atlanta Retro
[quote] Sofia Talvik is absolutely freaking gorgeous, and her charming stage presence drew me in, all the more. Not only is she a great singer, she fingerpicks her acoustic flawlessly, reminiscent of the steady subtle perfection of Nick Drake’s Pink Moon. [/quote]
