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.
I’ve done 3 Christmas shows in Stockholm, and you’ll be able to see the last one in tomorrow’s window of my Xmas Calendar. So for all of you living in the UK, that haven’t had the chance to attend my Christmas shows, here’s your chance now! I’m playing live at Jajaja’s Xmas Party this Thursday, December 17th, at the Lexington.
I won’t play just Christmas songs but I might treat you to one of my free Christmas singles available on www.sofiatalvik.com/download
A big thanks to everyone who came to see my second Christmas concert last Sunday, and an extra big thank you to amazing Christian Kjellvander for making it extra great! For all of you who missed this one, we’ve recorded a few songs from the concert for you in today’s episode of my Xmas calendar. Enjoy!
There’s still a few tickets left to our last concert December 12th. Make sure you book one HERE before they’re all sold out!

As you know we’re doing a couple of Christmas concerts in December. But as we’ve been all sold out and you can only catch is in Stockholm, Sweden, I figured I’d show you some songs from the Christmas concerts in today’s window. This is from our première night with Meja as guest artist.

When I released my album Jonestown I released 12 live videos where I play the songs from the album live with different Swedish guest artists. One of them was Christian Kjellvander and I am proud to tell you that he will once again play with me, this time on my Xmas concert “Sofia Talviks Julmys” at Mosebacke this Sunday!
If you’re in Sweden you should also turn up the volume on your radio today for Musikplats Stockholm in P4 where I’ll be a guest!
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.”
Check out the last live video with Christian Kjellvander here:
I hope you liked the first window of my Xmas Calendar. In this second window it’s time for me to introduce you to my guest artists for my Christmas Shows. Wonderful Meja is first up!
My Christmas single can be downloaded HERE.
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.
