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.
Hey! It’s my birthday and I want to give YOU presents!
Oh, so now you think I’m all old and crazy all of a sudden? Fear not, I’m still a young woman in my best age. But since most of you guys can’t be here to celebrate with me I want to make this a special day for all of us anyway.
I’m putting all my albums on “Pay What You Want” and yes you can pay me anything from $1.000.000 to zero, nada, zilch, nothing. How’s that for a birthday bash??
I’ve hit California and I’ve already done a few shows around the northern part, but I have many left. I hope to see you in San Francisco, San Luis Obispo, Los Angeles and San Diego in the near future. Here’s some of my upcoming dates, to see all my upcoming gigs go to https://sofiatalvik.com/gigs. Note that the selection below is only a handfull of the upcoming gigs around CA.
The San Francisco Chronicle has also chosen my gig in Oakland tonight at Disco Volante and my gig at Amnesia Bar in SF on the 30th as their top picks for this week! The show at Amnesia will also be the 200th gig on the tour so please bring all your friends and come celebrate with me!

Sacramento Press about my show at The Coffee Garden
[quote] A night with Talvik was soothing relief after a workday.[/quote]
Sacramento press attended my show at The Coffee Garden the other night and you can read all about what they thought about the show here. So you missed it? Aawwww, too bad, but you can still catch my second show in Sacramento in Friday 10/19 at Zuhg Life store, the downstairs stage in the Downtown Plaza Mall. And to warm up you can tune into KDVS 90.3 FM tomorrow morning at 11am PST and hear a full hour of talk and music with me. And if you miss all that as well… you still have another chance to catch me at “The Saturday Morning Folk Show” on KDVS, Saturday at 11pm.
I’m going to perform all the songs from my new album “The Owls Are Not What They Seem” live from different places in the US during my tour and put them up on YouTube.
This is the seventh track “Circle Of Friends” from the new album – performed in Washington State at The Olympia National Forest.
Special offer: dinner and concert! California November/December.
As you might know if you’ve followed me on Facebook or Instagram I love three things, my hubby, music and cooking! And may I say I’m quite a good cook too. So I figured, why not combine these great things and offer you “Dinner and Concert“. It’s kinda like a house concert but I will show up early and cook a delicious meal for you and your friends. Then I will play a concert and you have the perfect dinner party, are the talk of the town and didn’t even have to lift a finger! You can even choose from three different menues that I will present upon request or have me surprise you.
Details: The offer is only available in California in November and December and includes 3 course dinner and concert for a maximum of 10 ppl in your home (must have kitchen with basic supplies) drinks are not included in the price. Price: $500 only!
