Välkomna tillbaka till min blogg!

Hej allihopa!

Det är drygt ett år sedan jag startade den här bloggen för att jag skulle åka på USA-turné. Sen dess har jag gjort 2 stycken till och har en 3e på gång i mars. Kan ni tänka er va!  Men det är inte det jag ska skriva om nu.

I december har jag utnämnt mig själv till Sveriges Artist-tomte! Det betyder att jag ska överraska er med en helt galet massa roliga grejer. Till exempel ska jag göra tre stycken julkonserter på Mosebacke i Stockholm. De går av stapeln (Ja, Pam jag vet att man bara får använda det uttrycket till båtar;-)) den 5e, 6e och 12e December. Men när Carola sjunger om Betlehem och Robert Wells hammrar piano till bjällerklang så kommer jag att göra en julkonsert för alla er som kanske inte vill höra de där klassiska jullåtarna eeeeen gååååång tiiiill.

Nä serru, på mina julkonserter får man höra låtar av Tom Waits, Leonard Cohen, Frank Sinatra – och mig såklart. För jag har ju gjort ett antar jullåtar (som ni kan ladda ner här: www.sofiatalvik.com/download ). Och sen får ni se och höra ett par riktigt schyssta gästartister också. Meja, Christian Kjellvander och Pernilla Andersson. Enda problemet är väl att Cornelisrummet på Mosebacke bara tar 50 personer, så om du vill gå får du skynda dig att boka biljett. Det kan man tex göra på www.mosebacke.se

Ja men vi ses väl där då! Jag är snart tillbaka med fler tossiga julupptåg så stay tuned!

kom på julkonsert för sjutton!

Guest artists revealed!

julposter
I’m happy to announce the guest artists that will be performing with me on my Christmas shows in December. Make sure you book your tickets before they’re all sold out. Cornelisrummet at Mosebacke only takes 50 people per concert and the tickets are already available for purchase here. Sofia Talvik’s Julmys is a Christmas show where I will play my original Christmas songs alongside my favourite wintery songs by other artists like Tom Waits, Joni Mitchell and Leonard Cohen. I’m also very happy to announce that 3 very talanted stars from Sweden will join me for a show each.

December 5th: Meja

Almost 15 years have passed since the birth of her solo carrier, and yet Meja’s history is not about what happened “ then”. It will always be about what Is happening” now”. The Mega hits are still spinning around in our minds, our lips are still humming “It´s all about the Dum-dum-du-du-du-dum” and the stories of the Japanese mass euphoria are regarded as literacy. It’s nice with fixed stars, the artists we feel are “ours” whom we can feel proud of. But to rely on old ways would be unfair, not only to Meja’s variety and creativity, and if we don’t look ahead we will miss out on a multifaceted artist with the fingers in more cookie jars than most.

December 6th: Christian Kjellvander

Known for both his career in the band Loosegoats as well as his many praised solo albums, Christian Kjellvander is probably the most American country-esque singer/songwriter in the whole of Scandinavia. Or as “The Sun” describes his music; “You’d bet your bottom dollat that the man behind it lived in a small American town.”

December 12th: Pernilla Andersson

Pernilla Andersson is in her spare-time a passionate fisherman. She also runs her own label Sheriff, has produced several albums and released no less than 6 solo albums in both English and Swedish. This Swedish bombshell has several talents and and a heart of gold. She’s involved in the project “Don’t mess with out water” and some of the profits from her latest album goes to the cause of saving the sea environment in the Baltic sea.

New video with Christian Kjellvander

Worldwide release!

In the end of October 2009 I’m releasing my third album “Jonestown” in the USA and later on in Japan. To give you a preview of the songs from the album I have gathered 12 of my favorite Swedish artists who will each perform one song from the album live with me on tape. Every week a new video is released, with a new song and a new guest artist.

I was just about to go to the US to tour with my new album “Jonestown” when I recorded this video with Christian Kjellvander, one of Sweden’s most prominent country singer/songwriters.

When Christian told me about the tour he’s about to make this fall I did get a bit jealous because it sounded so awsome. Christian is also going to the US, but he’ll be doing a livingroom tour, which means he’ll be playing in people’s homes. How awsome is that! I hope that all you guys will check out his schedule on his website and make sure to catch one of his performances because you won’t get disapointed, I promise.

About Christian:
After releasing several Loosegoats albums and the great Songs of Soil album Christian released hit breakthrough debut “Songs From A Two-Room Chapel” in 2002. In 2005 “Faya” was released and then Christian has been touring ever since with the occasional break. Now “I Saw Her From Here/I Saw Here From Her” is done. This fall Christian is heading to the US to do a “livingroom tour” playing in people’s homes.

Christian Kjellvander + Sofia Talvik = Sant

Imorgon smäller det!!
Då släpps min tredje skiva “Jonestown” i butiker och on-line. Som ett smakprov på låtarna från skivan har jag under sommaren ställt upp 12 svenska favoritartister framför min webbkamera och framfört alla låtarna från albumet live.

Idag ser ni mig och Christian Kjellvander.
