First we took Manhattan. Now we take Berlin!

Sofia Talvik

Aaaah! I’m back after a nice relaxing vacation and ready to get on the horse that is gigging again!

I’ve just moved to Berlin, Germany, and will be touring in Europe for a while now. (Don’t worry, I’ll be back in the US before you know it)

I’ve got two shows in Berlin in June and would love to see all my fellow Berliners there!

The first one is at St. Gaudy Café on June 6th and the second one is at Playing With Eels on June 21st. More info about both shows here!

Don’t forget to sign up on the Facebook events and invite all your friends to make me feel extra welcome in my new home town!

TOANWTS Acoustic video album #12

#12 – Nothing Quite So Gentle

I’ve been performig all the songs from my latest album “The Owls Are Not What They Seem” live from different places in the US during my Drivin’ & Dreaming Tour and published them on YouTube.

This is the twelvth and final track from the album – Nothing Quite So Gentle, performed in the Palm Cemetary in Winter Park, Orlando, Florida. To record a video in a cemetary might seem like a werd idea, but I’ve always loved the eerie look of the spanish moss hanging off the trees and the old tomb stones, and the first line in the song is “If you’re one step from the grave…”.

This is probably the TOANWTS Acoustic video album version that is the most different from the album version since I originally wrote the song on the piano and had to re-interpret it for the guitar. Kinda like a cover of myself. With this song the Acoustic video album is now complete. I’ve recorded the 12 original songs in almost as many states during my 2011-2013 tour and I hope you enjoyed the scenery as well as the acoustic versions.
