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 got an email from Georgia who told me that she and her fellow students at the Birmingham Institute of Art and design had made a video for my song “Delusional” from the EP “V – Part Three of L.O.V.E“. Of course I had to share it and here it is!

My Drivin’ & Dreaming tour is nearing its end but President Obama wouldn’t have it that I didn’t have any more shows in Washington, DC 😉 so I had to schedule a show at the House of Sweden on February 24th (I didn’t want to be responsible for the US invading Sweden after all). So if you’re up around DC you better get your tickets to my show NOW! See you on the 24th! The show is at 6pm and you can find the address here!
It’s always nice to come to Florida even though there’s recenty been a cold front here and I was hoping for warmer weather after chilly Arizona and New Mexico. So I’ve got a few shows around FL in February and I’m also stopping by a few radio shows. The other day I was on “Florida Folk” at WMNF 88.5 in Tampa and if you missed it you can listen here (I’m on about 30 minutes into the show)
Today I woke up early to be on WHOA 100 in Sarasota and tonight I’m stopping by WSLR’s “New and Blue Session” where I’m also going to play a few songs live.
I’m doing a couple of shows around FL and I hope to see you there:
02/08 Sarasota: WSLR concert at Fogartyville Community Media and Arts Center 7:30 (w/ Richard Smith)
02/09 Northport: Café Evergreen 5:30pm
02/10 Bonita Springs: Flamingo Island Flea Market 2pm
02/13 Miami Beach: Van Dyke Café 10pm
03/01 Gainesville: Civic Media Center 8pm
I played Elvis old hang-out in Ocean Springs last night and here’s two interviews with me in the local newspapers. Unfortunately neither Ocean Springs Gazette nor Ocean Springs Record have a very reliable online presence so I’ve tried to post pictures big enough to read if you click them. Thanks to all who came out to see my show at the Julep Room!
I’m touring my way back to FL in January and February and these are my upcoming gigs along the way. I hope to see you at these, my last concerts on my Drivin’ & Dreaming tour, who knows when I’ll be back in the US again. Check out my gig page for more info about tickets and addresses. Note that you might have to get tickets or sign up/make reservations for a few of the gigs.
