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.
So, I’m back in cold, cold Sweden after a short but lovely time in Austin, TX. where I performed in the famecast finals.
The video from the finals will be published on the famecast website on Thursday, and you’ll be able to vote every day for a week after that. If you haven’t registered you’ll have to do that first.
Here’s som pics from my time in Austin. I hope I get to go back soon again!
Swedish radio P4 did a recording of one of my gigs this summer.

It was lovely to play back home, and the old dancing ground at Allmag was magical.
Just check out the pics and you’ll know what I mean.

for having us! We loved to play at Trästock, and you were everything but indifferent on my gig! I loved the laidback feeling with all of you sitting around like I was playing in your livingroom.
The door seemed kind of crowded so I hope everyone that wanted to catch the gig got in alright. So thank you, everyone sitting in the audience and everyone working with the festival for making me feel so welcome at Trästock.

Hey guys
Don’t miss the festivals Hoodsfred and Re:publik (both in Stockholm) this upcoming weekend. Friday me and my lovely Tallboys are playing at the big stage at Hoodsfred in Kista at 7.40pm (kl 19.40). We’ll bring you songs from the new(ish) album Street of Dreams and it’s for free so don’t miss it!
Saturday I’ll do a very special gig with Sophie Rimheden as most of of you know as Sweden’s own electronica princess! We’ll be doing a very clubby, discoey kind of performance for all of you who want to dance and party. This is the first time we’ll perform live together and to get a hint of what you might get to hear, check out our myspace site www.myspace.com/sofiasophie
We’re playing in Allhuset on Frescati at 11pm (kl 23) and it’s a free festival.
