I've been a fan of Sofar Sounds and their mission since the beginning, and, frankly, it's been amazing to see their evolution. As a writer and content creator, I've always felt that if I wanted to know a story that perhaps my readership might as well, and that's really how this interview came to fruition.

I don't want to take away too much from the interview with Rafe Offer by offering too much preamble, but for those who don't know Sofar Sounds is a music movement operating in over 400 cities.

Again, all this will be elaborated on further, but Sofar Sounds puts on a "show" in an intimate (and often wonderfully obscure of different) venue and three artists perform for a crowd in the know. I've always liked that there is no opener or no headliner, just three artists strutting their stuff.

To get into a Sofar Sounds show, you merely need to apply to your city (or what city you might be spending some time in). If you're accepted into the show, you'll get a notification to let them know if you can make it. Then, 24 hours prior to the show, they release the location and you arrive for the show.

I can't speak to what the algorithm is for acceptance, but it's usually just a numbers game. I'd say roughly 75 people or so tend to be at each show, but that number can vary based on whether the show is on a rooftop, in a living room, or at a museum (just to name a few locations I've seen shows in the past).

Throughout the interview, I'll be inputting photography which I feel captures the Sofar Sounds experience in full. Also as an aside, Sofar Sounds actually is an acronym for "Songs from a Room," and I think that also paints a picture of the intent of the movement from the onset.
