Keep Listening

An online listening room to continue supporting local artists around the world

Donate to the Sofar Sounds Global Artist Fund

The fund is allocating grants of $250 each to help Sofar artists whose livelihood has been affected by COVID-19. 100% of proceeds go directly to the artists, and your donation is tax deductible.

As we work toward bringing in-person shows safely back to your local community, we’re more committed than ever to the idea that music brings people together. Join independent artists around the world for intimate livestream performances in the Sofar listening room!

All shows are free, and optional donations can be given directly to the featured performing artists.
