Don\u2019t worry, Sofar\u2019s got you. We\u2019re a global group of local communities, with friends in 400 cities. There are many of us, and we\u2019re ready to meet you. Here are a few reasons why Sofar is just the place for you to come find your soon-to-be buds.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>1. Every Sofar is a Welcoming One<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>From the second you arrive, there\u2019s someone there to say hi. But it doesn\u2019t stop at the entryway\u2013\u00a0the MC is there to guide you through the evening, the artists are there to openly share their songs, and fellow show-goers are also eager to talk about the music, the unique space, and maybe more.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>2. It\u2019s Where New and Old Friends Come Together<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Maybe you <em>and<\/em> your friends are looking for new people to hang with. For some of us, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sofarsounds.com\/blog\/articles\/sofar-love-stories-taylor-and-ayjay\">Sofars can be place a place we feel empowered to make new friends, and bring our oldest ones too<\/a> (and maybe even find love). The vibe is always laid back at a Sofar, so if you want to talk it up with some new faces, or sit quietly with friends and just be around good music with fellow music lovers, it\u2019s all possible (and encouraged).<\/p>\n<h2><strong>3. There\u2019s Time to Chat with Your Neighbor<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>For you more talkative folks out there\u2013\u00a0don\u2019t sweat, there\u2019s always time between artists to gab with the people sitting around you. Maybe you\u2019ll luck out and they\u2019ll share their blanket with you (that\u2019s what <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sofarsounds.com\/blog\/articles\/a-letter-from-rafe-our-founder\">happened for our founder, Rafe<\/a>). It\u2019s a friendly crowd, trust us.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>4. It\u2019s a Chance to Expand Your Community<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Sometimes a Sofar takes you<a href=\"https:\/\/www.sofarsounds.com\/blog\/articles\/this-must-be-the-space-chris-house-in-london\"> to someone\u2019s cozy living room<\/a>, or a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sofarsounds.com\/blog\/articles\/moto-spirits-brooklyn\">micro-distillery run by small business owners<\/a>, or maybe it lands you at a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sofarsounds.com\/blog\/articles\/this-must-be-the-space-sports-basement-presidio\">Sporting Goods store where big groups of bikers and runners meet<\/a> for adventure. It\u2019s a wide world, and Sofar gives you the chance to join new and diverse groups of people.
