In between sets though, everyone mingles and chats with each other, and the artists too. These Sofar artists are examples of the future of music, and your playlist rotation. In a SoFar concert, texting and speaking is banned during sets. Our sounds are different, our language complex, our messages some might deem taboo, but the most powerful aspect of what makes today’s artists so revolutionary is that they don’t care what anyone has to say.
There is no VIP pass or front row seat ticket. And while the idea for a house concert is not particularly novel, its the principles upon which SoFar operates that makes it such a unique experience. Sofar Sounds is a global music community that connects artists and audiences through live music. Aside from a few photo snaps, hardly anyone is on their phones.Īccording to their website, SoFar is currently active in 328 cities worldwide with over 500 opportunities each month for artists to play. The crowd erupts into applauds after each artists finishes, yet it’s astonishing how quiet the animated crowd becomes when the sets begin. The set list for the night in questino features Brazilian artist Aline Muniz, a classical instrument group with Jonathan Miron, and local hip hop artist Crimdella. While SoFar eschews from having headline artists, past performers have included The National, Scarlett Johansson, and Robert Patterson. Artists such as Billie Eilish, Ed Sheeran and Jack Harlow generated some of their first fans at Sofar Shows and have since gone on to perform world tours. Others seemed to like the idea, and the idea spread across London and soon other cities around the world.
