Sofia Talvik on For Folk’s Sake

[quote] Talvik, proving that Sweden is currently a gigantic alt-folk farm, plays gorgeously surreal, guitar-led dream-folk that simply must be heard. She’s a psyched-out, more inventive Marissa Nadler with the ethereal tones of Tasseomancy and Serafina Steer – an artist unafraid to experiment but who nevertheless retains a country soul.[/quote]

 

So writes UK’s #1 folk/country and roots music blog “For Folk’s Sake” about my music along with a looong interview about my tour, my inspirations and my crappy RV. Read it here!

Drivin’ & Dreaming to Chicago

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!

Free download of King of the Willow Tree

Don Draper went for Jaguar. I’m going for Dodge and YOU can help me. So what do you have to do?

Well just accept my humble gift of a free download of my song King of the Willow Tree from my Florida album!

Already have it? Well, you can always give it to a friend. The nice thing is that all you have to do is download it and that will count as a vote towards getting it in to a Dodge commercial, so that many more people get to hear it. You don’t have to keep voting every day and stupid stuff like that, download the song HERE and you’re a song richer as well as having helped your favorite artist (that would be me) out. Not bad huh?!

I’m actually one of 500 hand picked artist to be a part of this challenge so that alone is a great thing!

King of the Willow Tree – At last something beautiful that you can truly own!

Don Draper tells you to do it!
