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

A rare artist and gifted storyteller, Talvik brings a voice often compared to legends like Joni Mitchell, delivering a performance that feels both timeless and deeply personal.

Expect an intimate, one-of-a-kind evening reminiscent of ’70s coffeehouses and speakeasies, where music and storytelling take center stage. With ethereal vocals, warm acoustic guitar, and a sound blending Nordic folk with American roots, this show is equal parts reflective and quietly powerful.

If you love artists like Laura Marling, Lucinda Williams, Gillian Welch, or Emmylou Harris—this one’s for you.

Snohomish PUD’s Energy Block Party is back on April 25 from 10am–2pm at their Everett headquarters. This free, family-friendly event features a “Truckstravaganza” (aka touch-a-truck), food trucks, giveaways, hands-on activities, and interactive booths all about energy, sustainability, and the future of power. 

Come explore big rigs, learn about electric vehicles and clean energy, and enjoy a fun, educational day for all ages—no RSVP required, just show up and plug in to the fun.

Enjoy a night out while giving back at Shawn O’Donnell’s—where a portion of food and non-alcoholic beverage sales will benefit Music4Life, a nonprofit that provides free, donated, and refurbished musical instruments to local public school students in need.

🎶 Live Celtic music by The Stumbling Fiddler will keep things lively while you dine, making this a fun and meaningful way to support youth music education across Snohomish County.

Funds raised help repair and prepare donated instruments for students in local school districts—helping ensure more kids have access to music programs.

Can’t attend? You can still help!

Donate gently used instruments or make a monetary gift to support the cause.

Music4Life serves five Snohomish County chapters:

Edmonds, Everett, Marysville, Monroe, and Sky Valley (Sultan & Index)
