Florida Acoustic Tour

My “Florida Acoustic” Tour is over and it’s been great! I did 7 gigs in 7 days all of them outside. Going from one side of Sweden to the other I was so happy to be travelling with a Bose L1 system. Not only was it a dream to travel with as it’s so light and easy to demount but the comfort of knowing how your sound is going to be no matter where you perform is priceless. One of the biggest challenges you meet as a performer is coming to different venues and having to play with different sound systems of different quality so it was really relaxing to know that my music would sound the same no matter where I was. I met a great deal of lovely people and also had a steady audience online that followed my live stream.

A big thanks to all of you that listened live and online, to all the venues and of course Bose for making my tour a great deal easier! Here’s some videos and photos from the tour:

Florida

SOFIA TALVIK
Florida (Makaki music)

Betyg: Fyra kajor (av fem)

POP. Sofia Talviks fjärde skiva Florida har ett klart fylligare sound är föregångarna. Trummor utgör ryggraden och trombon samsas med cello i berättelser från den amerikanska södern. En lånad strof från de gamla brittiska poprävarna Lightning Seeds tyder på att det är just pop som varit riktmärket den här gången. Men det är fortfarande finstämt och avskalat med popmått mätt, vilket gör att Sofia Talvik har precis lagom balans mellan engagerande driv och sällsynt vackerhet.
