Help me get to Lollapalooza and I will take you with me!

Sofia Talvik live at Lollapalooza 2008

In 2008 I became the first female Swedish artist to play at the Lollapalooza festival. It was also my first US tour and now, four years later I’ve done a lot of tours and am on my biggest one ever. Since December I’ve done over 100 gigs in the US and I’m working my way towards Chicago again. So when an opportunity arrose to enter a competition for a slot at this year’s Lollapalooza I felt I had to enter. But in order to make them understand that they should book me I need YOUR help. The voting for the competition is live and you can help me by casting a vote every day, share it on your FB wall and with your friends. If I get picked to play I will give a VIP pass to Lollaplooza to one of you that helped me by voting.

Go HERE to see my video and vote for it!

I’m working my way through the USA going north on the East Coast. In this episode I’m playing at a rock, paper, scissors tournament, sing Bobby McGee with Dr Lou and check out where Snookie got knocked the fuck out!

So right now we’re booking the great plains of the MidWest for August and September. And this is where we want YOUR recommendations on where to play and what not to miss. We will try to stay on the 80 as much as possible. Also if you’re living in any of the following states: IA, NE, CO or WY we are now open for house concerts. Don’t hesitate to ask us if you have any questions about how this works, you can also read this post that I wrote a while back that roughly describes it. You can always get in touch with me through my contact page.

I’m looking forward to hear from you!

Don’t miss me on WERS 88.9!

A couple of days ago I visited The Left End on WERS 88.9 FM in Boston and you can tune in and listen to it Sunday night (early Monday morning) June 25th 12:15 am EST. So all you Europeans are in luck as this means Monday morning for you. Pretty early but still. I’ll also try to put up a link so that you can listen later on if you miss it. To listen go to http://wers.org/ and click either of the buttons on the top of the page that says LISTEN LIVE (you can also click directly here)!

When I got there they told me about this lady that had been there a day before me with all her foot pedals … turned out to be fellow Swede Theresa Andersson. Too bad we missed each other in Boston!
