Two new videos!

So I’ve been busy with planning the US release of “Jonestown”. And as I’m releasing three new videos each week I’ll try to make it up to Sara Rumar for not posting her earlier by doing it now!

Sara and I met when we were both summer temps at one of Sweden’s largest newspapers. We discovered our common interest for music and soon gained the nickname “The Glittertwins” in the office. Sara has since released 2 cool pop albums in Sweden and Germany.

Check her out here: www.sararumar.com and www.myspace.com/sararumar

Sofia Talvik / Sara Rumar – Prove me wrong

Song: Prove me wrong (Jonestown 2008)
Guest artist: Sara Rumar

Guest number 2 is country singer Kristina Westin.
I first heard of Kristina Westin from my husband’s co-worker who plays the guitar in her band. We went to a few of their gigs and were impressed by Kristinas husky voice and talented songwriting. Kristina who has only released an EP yet will release her debut album later this year – and we’re looking forward to it!

Song: Burning Fields (Jonestown 2008)

New video with Christian Kjellvander

Worldwide release!

In the end of October 2009 I’m releasing my third album “Jonestown” in the USA and later on in Japan. To give you a preview of the songs from the album I have gathered 12 of my favorite Swedish artists who will each perform one song from the album live with me on tape. Every week a new video is released, with a new song and a new guest artist.

I was just about to go to the US to tour with my new album “Jonestown” when I recorded this video with Christian Kjellvander, one of Sweden’s most prominent country singer/songwriters.

When Christian told me about the tour he’s about to make this fall I did get a bit jealous because it sounded so awsome. Christian is also going to the US, but he’ll be doing a livingroom tour, which means he’ll be playing in people’s homes. How awsome is that! I hope that all you guys will check out his schedule on his website and make sure to catch one of his performances because you won’t get disapointed, I promise.

Sofia Talvik / Christian Kjellvander – At the end

Song: At the end (Jonestown 2008)

About Christian:
After releasing several Loosegoats albums and the great Songs of Soil album Christian released hit breakthrough debut “Songs From A Two-Room Chapel” in 2002. In 2005 “Faya” was released and then Christian has been touring ever since with the occasional break. Now “I Saw Her From Here/I Saw Here From Her” is done. This fall Christian is heading to the US to do a “livingroom tour” playing in people’s homes.

Every week until the release of my new album “Jonestown” I”m inviting a new guest artist to perform one of my songs with me. When all the live videos are released there will be a competition where you can win a box with albums from all the guest artists.

Last gig in NYC on Friday!

I’m playing at The Bowery Electric in NYC this Friday along with The Bootleggers, Drexel and Analogue Transit. It’s my last show in the US before I go back to Sweden so don’t miss out! The cover charge is $8 which means you get a lot of money for your buck!

Live at House of Sweden

We did a show on House of Sweden in Washington last night. A big thank you to everyone from House of Sweden and the incredible audience for making it a lovely experience. Here’s some pics and videos from our DC visit!
