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.
This Saturday I had a lovely show at the Mt Tabor Theatre in Portland with Gallon House and Jacob Miller and the Bridge City Crooners. Entertainment site BePortland.com was there and covered the show. You can read about it here and check out their awesome pictures!
Indie on the Move is a website that I use frequently when I book shows for my tour and a great tool for artists that want to find venues to play. They just featured me on their front page!
[quote] Talvik, proving that Sweden is currently a gigantic alt-folk farm, plays gorgeously surreal, guitar-led dream-folk that simply must be heard.

Check the discussion below and at the very bottom hear a song from my latest album, “The Owls Are Not What They Seem,” which is currently available as a pick-your-price download here.

Last week I was a guest on the Bob River’s show at KJR 95.7 (Seattle) and I played a few songs. You can have a listen to the segment here!
You can also have a look (!) at the show:
Last week I was on KSER 90.7 FM Everett’s Blue Moon Lounge (very fitting name since my first album is called Blue Moon) and you can have a listen to that interview here. (You’ll have to fast forward to the end of the first 8pm segment, and then the interview continues on the 9pm segment.)
I also did a short interview and played some songs on another great show at KSER, Nordic Roots and Branches with the ever lovely host Karen Pauley. You can tune in to that here!
