The Bluegrass Situation premieres Sofia Talvik’s “Pharaohs and Friends”

Artist: Sofia Talvik
Hometown: Gothenburg, Sweden
Song: “Pharaohs and Friends”
Album: Paws of a Bear
Release Date: September 27, 2019
Label: Makaki Music

Sometimes it’s easier to believe in fairy tales than fact and truth, something that is getting more and more obvious today. I hope people draw their own conclusions of the lyrics of this song, because I believe it can speak to people in different ways.”
