New York, NY (Top40 Charts / Real Office Centers) If you've ever found yourself strolling down an unknown street, following the sound of distant music, you'll probably understand what Sofar
Sounds is all about. There is something special about stumbling upon a show—the mystery and spontaneity of it demands your attention. It's completely different from attending a huge concert, which always includes a drawn out opening act, a packed venue, stressful parking, and of course, lots of distracting cell phones and cameras.
Sofar
Sounds recognizes the pitfalls of massive, commercialized performances, and wants to provide authentic experiences that are all about the music. According to their site, Sofar Sounds, "Is a global network of artists, hosts, and guests, all with the goal of bringing the magic back to live music." At each event, or "Sofar", you'll experience pure music, without any of the excess at big events. No openers or headliners, no chatting from the crowds, no texting or Snapping.
Guests are chosen by a raffle and invited to secret gigs. The venue location is unknown until the day before and the lineup is a mystery right up to the start of the show. It's a perfect way to create a close, intimate environment, with both the artists and the audience paying mutual respect.
