Sofar Sounds encourages people to abandon the status quo. Instead of the norm, the music events company wants folks to enjoy live shows in a new, experimental way. Music lovers don’t know the time or place of a live performance until a short time before it takes place. After all, the less you know, the more you'll want to seek, find and discover. The musical gatherings are smaller and intimate, yet the experience can shape into the moment of a lifetime. AJC reporter Becca Godwin explains that a major component of Sofar Sounds is silence. (Shhhhhhh.) There’s no talking during the show, and side conversations are taboo—and that includes texting. Just sit, listen, and get lost in great music by incredible musicians. Since the location could be anywhere, guests are asked to BYOB—bring your own booze. Listen to learn how to gain entry into one of our city’s most elusive musical experiences. Plus, host Shane Harrison reveals some fun things to do in Atlanta during the next 10 days, including Elton John’s Farewell Yellow Brick Road Tour at newly-renovated State Farm Arena.
