I’ve been yo-yoing around in the Midwest now for a while and I just wanted to share some new articles and interviews that’s popped up along the way. I’ve had some great receptions in South Dakota as well as Council Bluffs, IA. Actually Iowa has proved itself to be one of the productive states for me so far. A lot of great shows and attention! Here’s where you can read and listen in:

Drivin’ & Dreaming Episode #8

The 8th episode of my little TV show is now released. In this episode we do a show in Mechanicsburg, PA and our micro wave oven gets fried. We celebrate 4th of July white trash style in Pittsburg and play at an old mausoleum work shop with the great artists Emily Arin and Heward Howkins.

Remember to share the episodes with your friends to keep them coming. It’s tons of work making every episode and I’m doing it all by myself on top of bookings, promotion, playing live and trying to keep things in shape on the tour. A few extra views will keep making me motivated to put in the extra work! :)

Upcoming Ohio dates and Scene magazine!

Clevescene recommends my gig at the Spider

I’m in the Buckeye state! That’s Ohio for all of you who are not familiar with this somewhat weird nick name. I actually had to look up what it means and here’s what I found out. Not only did the state have a lot of Buckeye trees but William Henry Harrison who ran for president in 1840 used a log cabin made out of buckeye wood his trademark and the name of the tree itself comes from the markings on the nut that resembles the eye of a buck, the Indians called it “hetuck” or “buckeye.” So that’s today’s history lession for you. Now, let’s focus on what’s yet to come!

I’m doing a bunch of gigs here in the Buckeye state and I hope to see you there of course!  Here’s all upcoming Ohio dates:

Help me get to Lollapalooza and I will take you with me!

Sofia Talvik live at Lollapalooza 2008

In 2008 I became the first female Swedish artist to play at the Lollapalooza festival. It was also my first US tour and now, four years later I’ve done a lot of tours and am on my biggest one ever. Since December I’ve done over 100 gigs in the US and I’m working my way towards Chicago again. So when an opportunity arrose to enter a competition for a slot at this year’s Lollapalooza I felt I had to enter. But in order to make them understand that they should book me I need YOUR help. The voting for the competition is live and you can help me by casting a vote every day, share it on your FB wall and with your friends. If I get picked to play I will give a VIP pass to Lollaplooza to one of you that helped me by voting.

Go HERE to see my video and vote for it!
