Blog: Sofia Talvik - Swedish Singer/Songwriter - Street of Dreams

As the music director of the Van Dyke Cafe in Miami Beach, I have hosted thousands of shows and performers. I must admit the show that Sofia performed at the club last month was one of the most memorable and enjoyable shows we have ever done. Her melodious voice, angelic tone and elegant but relaxed phrasing combined with great guitar playing and amazing songwriting made her show a top hit with our fans and staff. Randy Singer, Van Dyke Music director, Miami, FL

We had a full house of north Alabama bluegrass and folk music lovers and before it was over Sofia had them eating out of her hand. A standing ovation and encore followed. It was a great night and she is a great talent. Bob Keefe Music Director, Berkely Bob's Coffee House, Cullman, AL

I just got contacted through my Sonic bids EPK by an organization called Bands With A Mission. They took on a personal approach by mentioning one of my songs, but I've gotten these kinds of emails before and soon got suspicious of their motive. After doing some research online I found this blog: http://samsongs.wordpress.com/ 2009/07/31/band-with-a-mission -not-a-chance / which confirmed all my suspicions. I think it's so mean when people try to profit on struggling bands and artists. It's like this online magazine called indie music reviews that I sent my album to for a review a [...]

Innan jag börjar gotta mig i den nya fina recensionen min skiva The Owls Are Not What They Seem har fått så vill jag gärna pålysa lite tråkiga nyheter om den svenska media- och musikbranschen. Eller jag nyheter är det väl inte direkt, i alla fall inte för oss indiependent-artister som kör vårt eget race med egna skivbolag. Mitt bolag Makaki Music som jag drivit sedan 2006 är givetvis med i SOM - Svenska Oberoende Musiker. Och idag fick jag den här hemska statistiken från dem i ett mail: "Under vinterns arbete i SOM kring sammanlagningen [...]

I've just released a spanking new video for my song The Garden from my new album The Owls Are Not What They Seem. The video is filmed partly at Sloss Furnaces in Birmingham by Jonas Westin and the kaleidoscope segments are filmed by Jason Gordon in Florida. I cut and edited the video myself and Jonas did the post production. An HD version will be uploaded at a later date du to bad wifi on the tour... Enjoy!

Sofia Talvik live at The Bama Theatre At first it seemed like a real challenge to book gigs in Alabama and Mississippi, and some people actually told us we would probably be better off skipping them altogether. Well, let me tell you I'm pretty happy we ignored that advice. If I haven't played the best venues there is in Alabama, I think my head is going to explode because the places I've played here have been some of the best gigs on my tour so far. In beautiful Birmingham I was invited to play Moonlight on [...]

It is delicious, delicate, subtle and graceful, it represents a moment of absolute magic listening. Belgian blog With Music In My Mind just wrote these wonderful words about my new album "The Owls Are Not What They Seem". The review is originally in French but you can also read it in english through the google translate button on the site (even though google translate has a hard time doing the words justice). Read the review here! [...]

Sofia Talvik live - photo by Virdeo Puro I'm currently freezing my fingers off in Tuscaloosa, AL where I'm playimg at the Bama Theatre tomorrow but as I'm in the Coffice (Starbucks) working, I figured I'd let you know a little about my upcoming stops on the tour.

" Sofia has gotten the balance just right. It is amply- but neither under- or overly-produced. Vocal layering and instruments add just the right amount of texture to the material. Stunning. " TOANWTS reviewed by Musical Discoveries and was appointed 5 stars! Thanks Sofia Talvik photo: Gustaf Waesterberg
