The show was great, good artist selection. However the planning around seating I thinking was poorly managed and so many disturbances as late comers were allowed to walk in and settle down during sets
Good so far, except the Bodega event on the 16th that could have been managed better. Too many disturbances that spoilt full enjoyment of the sets.

Hi Chisenga,
Thanks for the kind words on the lineup, and for being honest about the rest. Our local teams work hard to make every Sofar feel calm and immersive from the first note, so we're sorry the late arrivals at the Bodega show pulled you out of the experience.
Your note has been shared with the Lusaka team. Hope to welcome you back to a smoother show soon ✨🎵
All the best,
The Sofar Team

It was my first time attending a Sofar event. Loved the vibe, ambience and atmosphere. It was cozy and wonderful. Met a nice stranger named Anna. Definitely 10/10.

Wonderful musicians, a great venue, and a coffee cart for good measure - sounds like a perfect Sofar night to us 🎶☕️ We'll be sure to share this with the Sofar Greenville team.

I love the variety of artists Sofar…
I love the variety of artists Sofar brings to each show! It’s great to experience a genre that I wouldn’t normally pick on my own. I find each artist to be uniquely different and bring a different energy that I always end up falling in love with by the end of their set. I also appreciate the breaks between each set it gives the audience time to chat and regroup.

Thank you for taking the time to share this, Emma!
This is exactly what we love to hear - falling for genres you wouldn't normally pick is the whole point ✨🎶 and we're glad the pacing of the night works for you too.
Plenty more discovery to come, and we hope to see you there.

The space (Conwell Hall ) is fascinating. The music was excellent and varied short, interesting sets by very talented musicians. The cost was reasonable. I love seeing music and theatre in unusual spaces.

Downtown jazz
It was a nice event although it was not my type of music. Some better advice of the artists and the genre of music in advance would have been helpful.

Hi Bob,
Thanks for coming out and for the thoughtful note. Discovery is a big part of what we aim for at every Sofar, but we hear you on wanting a clearer steer on the music going in - your feedback has been shared with the NYC team.
Hope to see you again at a show that hits the right note 🎵✨
All the best,
The Sofar Team
Super fun night out
Super fun night out. Three singer-songwriter guitarists. To be honest I was feeling like I'd been sung to enough by the time we got to the headliner, but he blew the doors off. And it's a good feeling to support mid-tier artists. I really like the concept.
Would recommend.

Hi Pete,
What a brilliant write-up - thank you ✨🎶
There's something special about the last act of the night sneaking up on you, and we love that you're championing mid-tier artists right alongside us.
Hope to welcome you back to another Sofar in Southampton soon.

Sorry to hear the venue felt a bit too crowded - we want to deliver a comfortable experience for everyone, every time, so we've made sure to pass that along to the local team. Hope to see you at a future Sofar!

Ajay
Ajay, the host, brings such a positive and community feeling to the shows. The selection of musicians has been great. I’m seeing musicians and bands that normally I wouldn’t see and now I would go to one of their local shows.

Thank you so much for these words, Judy! ✨🎶
Introducing audiences to artists they might never have discovered otherwise is one of our favourite things about Sofar, so it's brilliant to hear it's already leading you to local shows. We'll make sure to pass your kind words along to Ajay and the team!
All the best,
The Sofar Team
The event wasn't quite what I expected
The event wasn't quite what I expected. The first artist lacked the intimate 'Sofar vibe' I’ve experienced in the past and didn't really engage with the audience. It was loud and pointless. Additionally, regarding the singles aspect, I think these events work better when tailored to specific age groups; an 'all ages' approach felt a bit counterproductive. Not too many people either

Hi Heidi,
Thank you for sharing this, and for being a returning Sofar guest. We're sorry this one didn't deliver the intimate, connected experience you know us for - that atmosphere is something we work hard to protect at every show, so it's important to hear when it falls short.
Your thoughts on the singles format are really useful too and we've passed them along to the team.
Someone on the team will be reaching out to you directly to make it right, so look out for an email from us.
All the best,
The Sofar Team
