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.
We’re playing in San Diego tonight (Wednesday 10th) at AMSD!
“San Diego: dialed in” also picked our gig as pick of the week! Read the whole thing here!
Get your tickets now!
Here’s a video of one of our new songs which we’ll be performing:
Don’t forget to follow my Swedish Tour Blog on Cosmopolitan!
Last summer before the release of my latest album “Jonestown” I did a grand campaign with Swedish MySpace. During 12 weeks I performed all of the 12 songs from my album, with 12 different Swedish artists. I released a new video on MySpace each week.
Well it’s Wednesday today and I’ve collected all of my friends videos and are throwing a party with you all on my videopage.
I’ve decided to call it the “Sofiapalooza”. Why? According to the Urban Dictionary the word Palooza means:
The art of throwing a very drunken extravagent party with a plethora of friends. Whoever is throwing the palooza usually adds their name as a prefix to the word. Paloozas are usually held on Wednesday.
Come on in and watch the SOFIAPALOOZA!
I got a mail today from CD Baby, the largest indie-distributor in the U.S. They LOVE the Jonestown CD and are putting it on their “Haunting, Fractured Folk Pop collection” playlist.
Check it out here: https://cdbaby.com/playlist/7
This is what they said about the album:
“The CD Baby editorial staff hears hundreds of albums every day and we love your “SOFIA TALVIK: Jonestown” CD so much we’re going to include it in our upcoming Haunting, Fractured Folk Pop collection which will be featured on cdbaby.com for one week beginning on Wednesday, December 31st 2008.”
