You\u2019re probably focused on getting the food dialed in\u2013chopping the herbs, simmering and thickening sauces, roasting up the vegetables\u2013but before everyone arrives, you gotta get that right music in place to set the ambiance. Well, we have a few ideas\u2026<\/p>\n<h2><strong>1. Sammy Rae – Kick It To Me | Sofar NYC<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Folks are starting to arrive as the table\u2019s being set, and you need a song that\u2019s both welcoming and energizing. <strong>Sammy Rae<\/strong> and her band (known as The Friends) have you covered with <strong>\u201cKick It To Me\u201d<\/strong>, a jazzy pop tune where the artist and fellow singers hopscotch through buoyant verses. <\/p>\n<div><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/nm7P9gqi0zU\" title=\"YouTube video player\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe> <\/div>\n<h2><strong>2. Las Lloronas – LIVE | Sofar Brussels<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Everyone\u2019s seated and ready to eat? Let\u2019s light the candles and get something dreamy on, like <strong>Las Lloronas<\/strong>. The Brussels-based trio treated us to a full live performance of their soft folk through spoken word and tender three-part harmonies. Let it play on as you all casually enjoy the meal together.<\/p>\n<div><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/X0pqJJyCfRs\" title=\"YouTube video player\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe> <\/div>\n<h2><strong>3. eBONE x Taj – High | Sofar Boston<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Ok, everyone\u2019s nice and relaxed, perhaps entering a bit of a food coma, so we need a little something to pep us up, but not to overwhelm. This hypnotic track from <strong>eBONE x Taj<\/strong> will do the trick. The duo pulls us in with a mix of synthy wash, looped tight beats, and trombone rhythms, then comes <strong>Tajahniya Sapp<\/strong>\u2019s lush, clear voice floating over the top. <\/p>\n<div><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/x8s6X60EqxI\" title=\"YouTube video player\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe> <\/div>\n<h2><strong>4. Oneironauts – Right Here Right Now | Sofar London<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Dessert\u2019s out and we want to keep the vibe even-keeled, so we\u2019ll go to<strong> Oneironauts<\/strong>. The three-piece band\u2019s performance of <strong>\u201cRight Here Right Now\u201d <\/strong>is sultry with a strong R&B backbone, a chef\u2019s kiss to the full dinner experience. \u00a0 <\/p>\n<div><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/ZQ6h9PFMCQg\" title=\"YouTube video player\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe> <\/div>\n<h2><strong>5. Nick Hakim – Green Twins | Sofar London<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Perhaps the night\u2019s winding down and you\u2019re looking for that perfect night cap of a song. Well, <strong>Nick Hakim<\/strong> provides it with this ultra warm, soulful performance of <strong>\u201cGreen Twins\u201d<\/strong>, where the artist\u2019s voice and guitar blend into the smoothest sonic texture, somehow both ethereal and grounded. The perfect send-off for the evening. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<div><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/rfd6OCgVjvQ\" title=\"YouTube video player\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe> <\/div>\n<p><em>Photo credit: Oneironauts, photo by Austeja Gudziunaite<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Having a few friends over for a meal?
