Sunday Vibes

Sofia Talvik

Singer-songwriter Sofia Talvik performs original Americana/Folk music, blending sparkle and melancholy in songs influenced by her Swedish roots. Registration is required.

Growing up in Sweden, Sofia Talvik's music has always had a special tint of her Scandinavian heritage, making her a favorite among music lovers.

Primarily a live artist, Talvik has taken her music across Europe and through 48 U.S. states, riding in her 1989 Winnebago Warrior with her husband at the wheel, digging deep into the American sound and channeling it through her Nordic roots to create a singular brand of Americana. Talvik releases all of her music on Makaki Music, a record label she started early in her career to maintain full control over her own recordings. While her Swedish roots serve as the basis for her songwriting, she often calls upon her many journeys and experiences for inspiration, especially the uniquely American archetype of roaming the endless highway. 

Living like a musical nomad moving from place to place, Talvik experiences the USA in a way few people do through slowly but steadily building her audience through her heartfelt and personal performances. The people she met opened their homes and hearts to her and some of them even made it into her songs. 

Talvik has released nine full length albums and countless singles and EPs. She has performed at festivals ranging from Lollapalooza to SXSW. She has opened for Maria McKee and David Duchovny, and has collaborated with former Suede guitarist Bernard Butler, as well as Tobias Fröberg (Peter Bjorn and John), who produced her 2008 LP Jonestown. She has also released two albums in Swedish as part of the New Acoustic duo Hansan with German cellist David Floer.

Registration is required for this free concert.
