Concert in your home!

Have you ever dreamed of having your favorite independent artist perform a private concert just for you and your guests?

Starting in October 2011 I will do an extensive tour in the US. I’m now looking for people who would like to host a concert in their home.

Simply put, a House Concert is a private party, employing live original music, held in a private home, garden, civic center, church or other space under your exclusive control. There would need to be enough parking nearby and your neighbors should be cool. It would be a huge bummer if someone called the cops because of all the extra cars and people coming to your house. You should probably not do this if you live in a small apartment with a bunch of uptight neighbors, room mates or a cranky landlord.

You should be able to host a minimum of 10-15 people. It’s up to you to invite people and spread the word about the concert. You can choose for yourself if you just want to invite friends or if you want to advertise the concert publicly. You have to guarantee the artist a minimum of 10 paying guests. A $10-20 donation per guest should be paid to the performer and it’s also customary, but not required, to offer the artist a home cooked meal and a room for the night. A stage isn’t required, and the PA system will be provided by the artist.

Your home address will not be published on the web and we will negotiate from concert to concert if you would like to publish any contact information to you about the concert or if you wish assistance with promotion.

Contact us if you would be interested in hosting a concert or would like more information.

Here’s a preliminary tour route so you’ll know when we’ll be in your state.
If your state is not on the list and you want to host a concert please throw us an email anyway and we’ll consider your offer.

Review of Florida Acoustic

Bluesbunny reviews Florida Acoustic

“Ms Talvik seems even closer to the track of American folk music here as her precise, lightly accented voice brings an innocence to her songs that reference the same road taken by the young Dylan.”

Bluesbunny has written a nice piece about my acoustic version of y latest album “Florida”. Read the full piece here!

Sofia Talvik & Beyoncé

Sofia Talvik - Florida

Well who knew that me and Beyoncé had so much in common (I mean besides us both being hot chick singers, right ;)). Seems like we also have the same taste in pets. The blog Album art exchange made me aware of this so I guess the next step is for me and B to take a trip to Gator Land together.

Here’s what they’re talking about:
