Internationally touring Swedish singer-songwriter Sofia Talvik brings her 2026 U.S. tour Songs, Strings & Stories to the Thumbnail Theater.

Known for her ethereal vocals and distinctive blend of Nordic folk and Americana, Talvik has performed in 49 U.S. states and toured extensively throughout Europe and the United States. With ten full-length albums released, she has established herself as a compelling storyteller whose music bridges continents while remaining deeply personal and intimate.

Her Songs, Strings & Stories tour is a solo journey, highlighting Talvik’s intimate vocals and masterful songwriting. Set within the intimate surroundings of the Thumbnail Theater, the afternoon promises a deeply engaging and memorable experience of music and storytelling.

“In times that feel uncertain and overwhelming, music can offer a moment of stillness,” says Talvik. “I’m excited to share an afternoon of songs and stories in such a wonderful venue.”

Audiences can expect a carefully curated setlist featuring highlights from across her extensive catalog, along with newer material introduced on this year’s tour.

Swedish singer-songwriter Sofia Talvik returns to the U.S. with her Songs, Strings & Stories Tour 2026, following a winter tour in Germany with her Christmas album “Wrapped in Paper”, which reached No. 3 on the Folk Radio Charts in December 2025 and was praised by The New York Times and NPR.

Sofia Talvik is a rare artist and an avid storyteller with a voice comparable to giants like Joni Mitchell. Prepare yourself for a unique and intimate evening, not unlike the 70s coffeehouses and speakeasies.

The Songs, Strings & Stories Tour invites audiences into an intimate live experience where music and storytelling take center stage. With ethereal vocals, warm acoustic guitars, and a sound that blends Nordic folk with American roots, Talvik creates concerts that feel personal, reflective, and quietly powerful.

Graphite Arts Center: 202 Main St. in Edmonds

Graphite Arts Center is proud to announce Delusions, the latest in the continuing tradition of inspiring theme exhibitions at The Gallery at Graphite.

The exhibit Delusions runs through April 25, 2026. The gallery is open noon to 5 p.m. Fridays and Saturdays, and 4-8 p.m. Monday through Thursday with access through Charcoal Restaurant. It is open 5-8 p.m. Third Thursdays for Art Walk Edmonds.

Delusions, a juried, group show features the artwork of over 20 Northwest artists, all exploring themes of fantasy, surrealism, chaos and the absurd. The representation of “delusion” takes many forms in this colorful and thought-provoking exhibit. Some results are beautiful, others are hauntingly disturbing. From blackberry and cauliflower heads to cows being launched out of a volcano, the range of nonsensical depictions is wide and varied.

Delusions is sponsored by Joyful Art Fund, which supports financial awards for artists exhibiting at Graphite. Artist Kyle Reynolds has been selected for the Curator’s Choice Award for her highly detailed and intriguing porcelain and assemblage piece entitled Devil’s in the Details, another artistic comment on delusional power, empire building and corruption. Cheri O’Brien was awarded the Sponsor’s Choice Award for her gouache painting Claire de Lune featuring a dreamlike figure on a flying horse soaring through shimmering moonlight. Artists Brian Despain and Mike O’Day have been awarded Honorable Mention prizes for their works. Graphite Arts Center looks forward to welcoming Despain back to Graphite on April 23 for his art talk “The Accidental Surrealist,” which is presented in conjunction with the Delusions exhibition. Graphite is proud to recognize these award-winning artists and is grateful to Joyful Art Fund for its continued support.
