Upcoming Ohio dates and Scene magazine!

Clevescene recommends my gig at the Spider

I’m in the Buckeye state! That’s Ohio for all of you who are not familiar with this somewhat weird nick name. I actually had to look up what it means and here’s what I found out. Not only did the state have a lot of Buckeye trees but William Henry Harrison who ran for president in 1840 used a log cabin made out of buckeye wood his trademark and the name of the tree itself comes from the markings on the nut that resembles the eye of a buck, the Indians called it “hetuck” or “buckeye.” So that’s today’s history lession for you. Now, let’s focus on what’s yet to come!

I’m doing a bunch of gigs here in the Buckeye state and I hope to see you there of course!  Here’s all upcoming Ohio dates:

Monday, 07/09     Cleveland, OH     Barking Spider Tavern
Wednesday, 07/11     Akron, OH     Acoustix Cafe
Thursday, 07/12     Akron, OH     Annabells Bar and Lounge

TOANWTS review in Lira

Review of Sofia's new album in Lira

Swedish music mag Lira recently published an interview about my tour and wrote a really nice review for my new album The Owls Are Not What They Seem or as I like to call it “TOANWTS”. As the magazine isn’t available outside Sweden, I’m sharing a translated extract of the review with you here:

 

[quote] What really lifts the songs are the symphonic but soothingly so produced string arrangements, the playful flute and not to mention – the warm-sounding trombone. The musicians give the songs the very personality you’re longing for, especially at the times when the soloists step outside the harmonious sound. My fondness for the singer/songwriter genre is not particularly large but Sofia Talvik’s music captures, touches and radiates at the same time an indefinable beauty. [/quote]

Black Mountain and Johnson City

See Sofia Talvik live in Black Mountain, NC and Johnson City, TN this weekend!

Seems like my gigs at White Horse, Black Mountain (Black Mountain, NC) and The Acoustic Coffee House in Johnson City, TN is going to be quite the happening. At least if you read the local press. Asheville’s Citizen Times named me “Hot Pick” for Friday April 20th and Timesnews.net and A! Magazine for the arts wrote about my gigs in Johnson City, TN for Saturday April 21st!

I hope to see you all there!

LA music blog Hotel Cafe Junkie (for you who don’t know this Hotel Cafe is a singer/songwriter concert series and one of the best music venues in LA) just listed me as their April artist of the month.

“She’s got a sweet sounding voice and seems to use a variety of instruments in her music. Sometimes there are some beautiful strings in the background that just fill out the sound with amazingness.”

Hotel Cafe Junkie likes good original music and, although not affiliated with the actual venue, I’m super excited to be appointed artist of the month! Thank you!
