Guten Tag!

I need to learn some more German now that I am beginning to tour here in Germany. I just wanted to give you some info about my plans for the fall!

I’m doing a bunch of shows around my new home town Berlin and will then branch out to entertain people in Cologne, Stuttgart and several other places around this beautiful country. As fall is coming and it’s getting colder I need your warm love and support, so please bring 10 of your best friends and come to my shows!

You can find all my shows here: GIG CALENDAR.

And I’m constantly updating it, adding more shows, so check in regularly to see when I’ll be in your town! 

Thank you!

Drivin' & Dreaming - THE BOOK & CD

Two months ago I put up a Kickstarter project for a live album and a book about the US tour “Drivin’ & Dreaming”. I didn’t know if any of you would be interested in reading about it, after all, I posted a lot on Facebook and my website along the way. But not only did you show me that you wanted to read more about it, you showed me that you support me in what I do and want me to keep on doing it!

The book and the album was funded within 24 hours and now that the project is closed we almost tripled our goal. This has helped me to expand the book from the original planned 200 pages to 300 pages, filled with stories, pictures and recipes – and believe me I could have filled 1000, but 300 is not bad either. So this is me saying THANK YOU for your support, on the tour and now – after the tour.

The whole thing was such an amazing experience and I got to relive it all through making this book. I hope you will feel like it was you going on tour when you read it, and I hope you will love every story just as much as I love them and try all the recipes (especially the Swedish ones).

Some final editing is left for me to do before I send it off to the printer and it should be ready to ship to you in September. I hope you all have enjoyed your digital bonus album and have checked out the videos for all the songs (http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL291E31BFD5CB9723). 

If you haven’t watched it already, here’s the video diary I did while on the tour, ten episodes of gigs, driving, breaking down and having fun:http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL77033D15B65E7C84

Well, I suppose I need to get to work finishing all so you can get your goodies 😉

Thanks once again for your immense support!

Aaaah! I’m back after a nice relaxing vacation and ready to get on the horse that is gigging again!

I’ve just moved to Berlin, Germany, and will be touring in Europe for a while now. (Don’t worry, I’ll be back in the US before you know it)

I’ve got two shows in Berlin in June and would love to see all my fellow Berliners there!

The first one is at St. Gaudy Café on June 6th and the second one is at Playing With Eels on June 21st. More info about both shows here!

Don’t forget to sign up on the Facebook events and invite all your friends to make me feel extra welcome in my new home town!

TOANWTS Acoustic video album #12

#12 – Nothing Quite So Gentle

I’ve been performig all the songs from my latest album “The Owls Are Not What They Seem” live from different places in the US during my Drivin’ & Dreaming Tour and published them on YouTube.

This is the twelvth and final track from the album – Nothing Quite So Gentle, performed in the Palm Cemetary in Winter Park, Orlando, Florida. To record a video in a cemetary might seem like a werd idea, but I’ve always loved the eerie look of the spanish moss hanging off the trees and the old tomb stones, and the first line in the song is “If you’re one step from the grave…”.

This is probably the TOANWTS Acoustic video album version that is the most different from the album version since I originally wrote the song on the piano and had to re-interpret it for the guitar. Kinda like a cover of myself. With this song the Acoustic video album is now complete. I’ve recorded the 12 original songs in almost as many states during my 2011-2013 tour and I hope you enjoyed the scenery as well as the acoustic versions.

The full album can be found here: http://music.sofiatalvik.com
