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 my Great Lakes Tour I stopped by the Daytrotter studios in Rock Island, IL to do my second session. It was just released and you can listen to it here!

We’ve made it up to the state of ten thousand lakes, or Minnesota as you may know it. Weather is beautiful but oh so cold. Luckily we have been hooked up and able to run the heat in Lil’Chief at night.
We stopped by Rock Island, IL to do a Daytrotter Session. This will be my second one, so keep your ears open for the release in a few weeks.
Then we had a wonderful concert at Three Springs Barn in Wisconsin! What a wonderful venue! Thank you again Jeff and Erin for hosting us.
After that we stopped by Sioux Falls for a White Wall Session, which will air on local South Dakota TV in a few months. And last night we were graced with disco lights and smoke machine in Madison, SD!
Unless we freeze to death we’ll see you soon in Minnesota, Wisconsin and Michigan soon!
[quote] The people in Talvik’s songs are weary, but they’ve also, miraculously, retained the stars in their eyes, those blazing gleams that they’ll be damned if they ever let get rattled or ripped from them. [/quote] – read more…
My Daytrotter session is released today, and for all of you who asked about which album the Wichita Lineman cover is on, and I’ve said none – here it is! For all of you who asked on which album the Swedish folk song is on – you’ll have to wait a little longer.
I’m super excited to be a part of the Daytrotter tribe and I hope you enjoy my session. Courtesy of Daytrotter you can also grab a free copy (or pay what you want) of my new album The Owls Are Not What They Seem!
For you who are unfamiliar with Daytrotter (shame on you!) here’s a little description on what it’s all about:
Daytrotter is a website for the recording studio Horseshack, which hosts recording sessions with many popular and typically upcoming indie music acts. The sessions can be compared to that of a radio station’s lounge recordings, where musicians passing through the town can record live in the studio. Due to their tendency to offer an eclectic sampling of music, and their production style the sessions have been compared to that of the legendary Peel Sessions. Daytrotter have served more than 21.5 million song downloads. Other noted artists that have been featured on Daytrotter is Bon Iver, Counting Crows, Fleet Foxes Ani DiFranko to mention a few.
