We see what an old friend or acquaintance is up to, and suddenly we feel like we\u2019re missing all kinds of fun. Well, the next time you find yourself feeling an oncoming case of the FOMO blues, Sofar\u2019s got you covered. Here are four ways a Sofar show can cure FOMO. <\/span><\/p>\n<h4><b>1. Connecting with Local Community<\/b><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">At the heart of FOMO is just feeling a little lonely, right? A Sofar night is the opposite of loneliness, it\u2019s the chance to gather in a roomful of people all there for the same surprise of three unannounced artists in a unique venue. It\u2019s a shared adventure, an instant way to feel part of a community.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><b>2. Checking out a New Space<\/b><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It\u2019s easy to get in ruts and visit the same old spots every week. A Sofar show pushes you out of your habits, inviting you to explore new spaces in your city, maybe even find a few of your new favorite haunts. <\/span><\/p>\n<h4><b>3. Discovering Your City\u2019s Music Scene<\/b><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Nothing cures FOMO like the excitement of connecting with new artists, which is what\u2019s Sofar\u2019s all about. Every show gives you the chance to hear not only global artists, but also folks who are a strong part of the local music scene, which always feels good to support.
