X-WR-CALDESC:In partnership with BeNt Shadows House Conterts & Cindy McClel
 lan\, we are hosting a house concert at The Leadership Center featuring th
 e incredible melodies of Sofia Talvik.\n\nThe menu and price will be publi
 shed no later than 1 week before the event. We always try to have gluten-f
 ree and plant-based options available.\n\nAt the intermission\, we'll offe
 r a selection of tasty baked goods (including a few gluten free ones) and 
 coffee or tea for all to enjoy.\n\nNow more about Sofia Talvik. Here is he
 r bio: 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. A veteran performer with 7 full length a
 lbums as well as numerous EPs\, singles and tours behind her.\nGrowing up 
 in Sweden her music has always had a special tint of her Scandinavian heri
 tage\, making her a favorite among music lovers\, but her 16 month\, and 3
 7 state long tour\, through the USA (in an RV) has moved her music closer 
 to the Americana tradition. The adventure on the road spurred a lot of emo
 tions\, both those of triumph and joy\, but also those of self doubt and d
 efeat – all of which found their way into the songs of her 2015 album ”Big
  Sky Country”. \n\nLiving like a musical nomad\, moving from place to plac
 e\, slowly but steadily building her audience through her heartfelt and pe
 rsonal performances she got to experience the USA in a way few people do. 
 The people she met opened their homes and hearts to her and some of them e
 ven made it into her songs. But the new album is not a diary from her tour
 \, it’s more of a storybook of emotions\, new and old in which everyone ca
 n find their own place. \n\nSofia’s debut album Blue Moon was released in 
 2005 to much critical acclaim followed by Street of Dreams in 2007 which f
 eatures a duet with indie pop icon Bernard Butler from British band Suede\
 , released on her then newly formed record label Makaki Music. Continuing 
 a steady pace of releasing albums Sofia released her album Jonestown\, nam
 ed after the tragic 1978 event in Jonestown\, Gyuana\, 2008\, and was the 
 first Swedish female artist to play the Lollapalooza festival in Chicago\,
  that same year.\n\n“It’s not often that an album takes your breath away\,
  and I hate to sound hyperbolic\, but “Florida” actually has several “Oh m
 y God!” moments of sheer beauty.” – CD Baby\n\nabout Sofia Talvik’s 2010 r
 elease Florida\, and album inspired by spending a few hot summer months in
  Florida in 2009.\n\nSofia who toured the US several times from her first 
 success at the Lollapalooza festival in 2008 has been invited to officiall
 y showcase at SxSW 3 years as well as to The Folk Alliance International C
 onference in 2012\, completed a 16 month long tour of the US promoting her
  5th release The Owls Are Not What They Seem. The tour took her through 37
  states and she did over 250 concerts. She’s been noted in media all over 
 the the world for her impeccable live performances and captivating stage p
 resence. In October 2013 she released her album Drivin’ & Dreaming LIVE an
  album with live recordings from her U.S tour.\n\nIn March 2014 Sofia Talv
 ik released the EP “FOLK” – a six track special. A hauntingly beautiful EP
  of old Swedish folk songs in a new modern presentation. \n\n“Folk is as s
 hort as it is blissful. It gracefully bows to tradition. Sofia Talvik capt
 ivates the listeners with the soul and emotions of these folk songs. The S
 wede is one of those singer-songwriters who turns everything she touches i
 nto gold.” – Lie In The Sound\n\nApril 2015 Sofia’s 6th studio album “Big 
 Sky Country” was released. A storybook of adventures and hardships\, about
  sometimes doubting yourself but also finding strength within yourself. 10
  original songs written on the road as well as in the contemplation after\
 , beautifully packaged in a simple yet powerful production. “Big Sky Count
 ry” also contains a cover of “Starwalker” by Buffy Sainte-Marie. The album
  is being distributed in the USA and Canada by ILS/Caroline/Universal. The
  album was appointed 4th best americana album of the year by U.K newspaper
  The Telepgraph.\n\nAfter having continued her tradition of releasing an o
 riginal Christmas song\, every year for over 10 years\, Sofia released her
  Christmas album “When Winter Comes” in 2017. The album reached no 5 on Fo
 lk Radio Charts in the USA\, and Sofia was the 3rd most played folk artist
  of the month of December.\n\nThe latest album “Paws of a Bear” released i
 n September 2019 gained a lot of critical acclaim in both the U.S and Euro
 pe\, charting on the top lists of U.S Folk Radio\, Roots Music Report and 
 Euro Americana Charts. The first single “Take Me Home” stayed in the top 1
 0 of U.S Folk Radio Charts for several months. Many of the songs of the al
 bum are on the theme of home and identity.\n\nAgain\, suggested donation a
 t the door for Sofia Talvik. is $20.00. All funds collected will go to the
  artist.\n
