The final round of voting for the MAMAs ends May 17. Vote Cheddar Revolution: Songs of Uprising for best compilation album. Also vote for Cheddar Revolution contributors Ida Jo, VO5, Dirty Wings and The Whiskey Farm in various categories.
 
To vote, go the the Madison Area Music Association website. You must live in or be based in Madison to be able to vote. You have to register as a member of MAMA, which requires a $5 donation, but the money goes to help youth musicians.

Sofia Talvik is a Swedish singer/songwriter who just released her 5th album, The Owls Are Not What They Seem. She embarked on her extensive Drivin' & Dreaming US tour in November 2011 and will be playing her way through the US until either she or her tour bus breaks down for good.

She has played big festivals like Lollapalooza, SxSW, CMJ etc but this acoustic solo tour focuses more on the personal connection between Sofia and her audience and you will more likely see her at small intimate venues than the large arenas.
