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.
Here’s some videos from my performances at CMJ. Thanks to Anders Hjelmtorp and Holger Carlsson at EXMS and the Swedish Consulate for inviting me to play!
Lower Case Letters live at Club Norwood
Wichita Lineman live @ CMJ, The Kimmel Centre
Adam Heldring played unplugged at the Swedish Consulate Party! Good job!
I’m trying to catch up on some blogging on my little CMJ/Release tour here in the US. Let’s start with some pics!
Adam Heldring and me at the Swedish Consulate Party at CMJ. We just got appointed Prom King and Queen of the Swedish DIY artists! And we are I guess. Adam’s great!
Jonas, me and Marcus at Times Square after our CMJ gigs!
Marcus (after a lot of sake), me and Jonas on our way back to the hotel in NYC. Unfortunately my US label couldn’t afford a real cab… 😉
Playing in Danbury. Not the best conditions to get people out of their houses as you can see. The place was basically flooded, but we kicked ass as usual and my Danbury Fan Chris attended the show!
Me in front of the Apollo theatre in Harlem, NY.
Our CMJ tour has spread itself all the way to Washington, DC. We’re doing an exclusive gig at House of Sweden on the 26th of October. Make sure you RSVP to the gig if you want to come!
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 have an exciting fall ahead of me. My album Jonestown is being released in the US, Canada and Japan at the end of October and I have a lot of fun gigs coming up both in Sweden and in the US.
