For as long as Sofar shows have been around, audiences have sat on cushions on the ground or stood at the back of venues that ordinarily aren’t used for live music. Over time, fans have expressed a preference for more seating, or ways to guarantee a chair. You asked, we answered with Grab a Seat.
Our Grab a Seat shows are just like our traditional Sofar shows — 3 artists of different genres in a unique space — except here you’re guaranteed a seat.
So sit back and discover local talent in an unforgettable space.
“It brought back memories of going to a coffee shop in the city in 60’s where everyone would be sitting around listening to someone with a guitar singing folk music.”
“This is probably my new favorite way to experience music.”
“I sat right at the front, so to be so close to the acts was really beautiful to experience.”
“Thank you for creating such a welcoming and homely space”

Our winter show, in partnership with Arc’teryx, featured a cozy line-up of great artists, while the audience got to grab a seat. Don’t worry: our shows don’t often look this cold!
