Special offer: Dinner and Concert

Bouillabaisse by Sofia Talvik

Special offer: dinner and concert! California November/December.

As you might know if you’ve followed me on Facebook or Instagram I love three things, my hubby, music and cooking! And may I say I’m quite a good cook too. So I figured, why not combine these great things and offer you “Dinner and Concert“. It’s kinda like a house concert but I will show up early and cook a delicious meal for you and your friends. Then I will play a concert and you have the perfect dinner party, are the talk of the town and didn’t even have to lift a finger! You can even choose from three different menues that I will present upon request or have me surprise you.

Sounds delicious? Contact me here! You can also contact me via Facebook.

Details: The offer is only available in California in November and December and includes 3 course dinner and concert for a maximum of 10 ppl in your home (must have kitchen with basic supplies) drinks are not included in the price. Price: $500 only!

Don’t miss out on this amazing offer!

Tune into Chicago radio show “Noteworthy” on UIC radio (The official Illinois University radio) tomorrow Monday July 23rd at 5:30pm. I’ll be chatting about the tour and might even play at tune or two. You can listen through their website.

After the show, make sure you get on the bus to the Elbo Room where I’ll be performing at 10pm. Chicago based cellist Ian Maksin will be doing a set at 9pm so don’t miss that! We’ll also play a few tunes together! I can’t wait!

[quote]It’s not that I’m a fan of most Swedish artists because they take on American genres I find favor with, but more so how they approach them. I feel that sometimes for such a decidedly American creation as folk and its long association as being music for the thinking man, there is more pressure as an American to create something that lives up to the sound of its predecessors and that sentiment can be all too obvious to the listener at times. That feeling doesn’t come across when listening to Sofia Talvik’s latest album, The Owls Are Not What They Seem. There is an effortless emphasis on melody that is influenced by the past, but never indebted to it. On “Everybody’s Favorite Concubine,” Talvik delicately glides along in a sparse setting that throws a few nods to the 60s and is relaxed in the way in it conveys emotion. Once the background vocals softly come in, everything’s extra creamy. [/quote]

I’ve visited some folk radio shows here in Cleveland, OH for my upcoming shows. I was invited to play some songs and chat about the tour at Just Plain Folk with Twistin’ Tom and will put up a link when it’s airing, and Saturday July 7th Jimmie Wilson of WRUW 91.1’s morning show Roll Away the Dew treated me to some studio time as well, to which you can listen here:
