     On Saturday, May 18, Delaware Friends of Folk will present their monthly coffee house concert in the Dover Art League, 21 W. Loockerman St. in Dover, beginning at 7:30 pm. Admission for this special show is $12 for members of Delaware Friends of Folk, $15 for non-members, teens are half-price, and those 12 and under are admitted free. Fresh-brewed coffee, baked cookies, and other snacks will be available. Seating may be limited, and tickets are available at delfolk.org.

     The only act for this special show is the Swedish singer songwriter Sofia Talvik. Unmistakably Nordic in flavor, Sofia still conforms to American interpretations of her own original music, a North Sea siren blending sparkle and melancholy. She is a veteran performer with nine 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. Primarily a live artist, Sofia has taken her music across Europe and through 48 U.S. states, While riding in her 1989 Winnebago Warrior with her husband at the wheel, she dug deep into the American sound and channeled it through her Nordic roots to create a singular brand of Americana. She releases all 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, slowly but steadily building her audience through her heartfelt and personal performances, Sofia has experienced the USA in a way few people do. The people she met opened their homes and hearts to her and some of them even made it into her songs. She has performed at festivals ranging from Lollapalooza to SXSW.

     This Delaware Friends of Folk event is supported in part by a grant from the Delaware Division of the Arts, a state agency, in partnership with the National Endowment for the Arts. The Division promotes Delaware arts events on www.DelawareScene.com.
