But before you can get ready to head out for tonight\u2019s adventure, you need to <em>carefully<\/em> curate a playlist to bring some good vibes into the late-night. So, here are some notable songs that will serve as the soundtrack for your evening ahead.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>El Javi – Bohemian Rhapsody (Queen Cover) | Sofar Denver<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>There are few songs so universally iconic that they need no introduction\u2014 <strong>\u201cBohemian Rhapsody\u201d<\/strong> is one of them. The Denver,CO-based<strong> El Javi <\/strong>says \u201cI\u2019ll think you recognize this one\u201d before beautifully recreating every note of Queen\u2019s classic rock opera\/ballad with his acoustic guitar. It’s impossible to not sing along when you know the words, and the song\u2019s slow build into the epic and energetic guitar solo in the second half is enough to set the night\u2019s tone. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<div><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/4tODkZDPAic\" title=\"YouTube video player\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe> <\/div>\n<h2><strong>Weekend Plans – Backseat Love; Gravy | Sofar Washington<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>It only seems fitting to listen to a band called <strong>Weekend Plans<\/strong> when you\u2019re getting ready for your weekend plans. The Virginia-based band blends funk, jazz, and even rap into this groovy performance. The upbeat song is easy to dance to, and tells the story of a young couple having fun while the night is still young. This one might pair best with a date night\u2014 it\u2019s sure to get the serotonin going.<\/p>\n<div><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/hFkAmJeCBks\" title=\"YouTube video player\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe> <\/div>\n<h2><strong>Booman Forever – Feelin’ On Ya | Sofar Chicago<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Pure, raw energy. That\u2019s this awesome song from Chicago, IL artist <strong>Booman Forever<\/strong>. Backed by a smooth bass line and a scene-stealing electric guitar, Booman pours his all into this performance that leaves an indelible impression on his audience.<\/p>\n<div><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/_QPXAeB5nOE\" title=\"YouTube video player\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe> <\/div>\n<h2><strong>Devitha & Nymura – When I Say So | Sofar Gran Canaria<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>This easy-going tune is easy on the ears and will make you unconsciously bob your head. Performing from Spain’s Canary Islands, this bilingual jam involves <strong>Devitha <\/strong>playing the keyboard as she lovingly harmonizes in English and <strong>Nyumara<\/strong> raps his verses in Spanish while holding down the groove line with the bass guitar. It\u2019s fun, vibey, and, regardless of whether you may or may not understand everything they’re saying, it nails the mood.<\/p>\n<div><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/kgQKbFoy094\" title=\"YouTube video player\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe> <\/div>\n<h2><strong>Jake Isaac – Super Bad (James Brown Cover) | Sofar London<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>This modern adaptation of the classic James Brown record slows it down a bit from its original fast tempo, yet London\u2019s <strong>Jake Isaac<\/strong> still carries the same funky soul that the original had. This is about as perfect of a feel-good song as you can get. Hearing those lyrics of \u201cI got soul\/I\u2019m super bad\u201d is like a mantra to remind you that you\u2019re the coolest cat in the room. Carry that confidence through the night with this memorable cover.<\/p>\n<div><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/w1ad_Rq4W_Q\" title=\"YouTube video player\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe> <\/div>\n<p>Words by Alejandro Hernandez<\/p>\n<p><em>Photo credit: Sofar Sacramento, photo by Michael Andrews<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It\u2019s a warm summer evening, and you\u2019ve already made plans with friends to go out and take advantage of the weather.
