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. She is a veteran performer with seven full-length albums as well as numerous EPs, singles, and tours behind her. Growing up in Sweden, her music has always had a special tint of her Scandinavian heritage, making her a favorite among music lovers, but her extended United States touring, has moved her music closer to the Americana tradition. Her latest album, "Paws of a Bear", released in 2019, gained a lot of critical acclaim in both the United States and Europe, charting on the top lists of the United States Folk Radio, Roots Music Report, and Euro Americana Charts. The first single, Take Me Home, stayed in the top ten of the United States Folk Radio charts for several months. Many of the songs of the album are on the theme of home and identity.
