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.
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:

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!

Sofia Talvik in front of the Swedish American Museum
This Thursday I was invited to play at the Swedish American Museum in Chicago. What a great night it turned out to be. I’ve played at the museum once before, when I was on my Lollapalooza tour in 2008 so it was a real treat to be invited back. There were over 120 people in the audience and we had a very nice VIP reception before the show.
Many thanks to Karin Moen Abercrombie and the other board members of the Swedish American Museum for a wonderful night, and to Konstnärsnämnden for supporting as well.
Here’s some pictures from the show. You can see the full album here!
