Think: a different venue every night, featured artists ranging in genre and style, and only about 50 guests enjoying the acoustics.<\/p>\n<p>Matt Brooks, Chicago City Director of Sofar Sounds, explains that the founders of Sofar realized the way we consume music today isn\u2019t ideal. Concerts are often expensive and large venues present a number of interruptions that distract us from truly enjoying the music. Sofar Sounds transforms the popular culture of music into an intimate experience while creating a close-knit community at the same time.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_20041\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-20041\" style=\"width: 1024px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/urbanmatter.com\/chicago\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/5be94c59d08872fcef9afeab7fa99240.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-20041\" src=\"https:\/\/urbanmatter.com\/chicago\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/5be94c59d08872fcef9afeab7fa99240-1024x678.jpg\" alt=\"Photo Credit: Pinterest\" width=\"1024\" height=\"678\" srcset=\"https:\/\/urbanmatter.com\/chicago\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/5be94c59d08872fcef9afeab7fa99240-1024x678.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/urbanmatter.com\/chicago\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/5be94c59d08872fcef9afeab7fa99240-600x397.jpg 600w, https:\/\/urbanmatter.com\/chicago\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/5be94c59d08872fcef9afeab7fa99240-300x199.jpg 300w, https:\/\/urbanmatter.com\/chicago\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/5be94c59d08872fcef9afeab7fa99240-1300x861.jpg 1300w, https:\/\/urbanmatter.com\/chicago\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/5be94c59d08872fcef9afeab7fa99240-128x86.jpg 128w, https:\/\/urbanmatter.com\/chicago\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/5be94c59d08872fcef9afeab7fa99240.jpg 1170w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-20041\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><em>Photo Credit: <a href=\"https:\/\/in.pinterest.com\/pin\/363595369894288933\/\" target=\"_blank\">Pinterest<\/a><\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>\u201cWe experiment with different genres and music and integrate different art forms into the shows,\u201d says Brooks. \u201cWe ask ourselves: how can we grow and meet the demand to curate music to guests without them having the slightest idea of whose playing?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s the catch: when you sign up to attend an event, the only bit of information given is the neighborhood where the event will be held. Guests are given the address of the venue the night before the concert, and the musicians are known as guests are handed a piece of paper as they walk in.<\/p>\n<p>This is what makes the Sofar experience one-of-a-kind.

Sometimes it\u2019s about how cool the venue was.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Sofar uses donated spaces as the venues for each concert. Small businesses, hole-in-the-wall spaces and garden shops have played host to a number of events. To name a few: Wicker Park shoe store, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bucketfeet.com\" target=\"_blank\">Bucketfeet<\/a>, and furniture shop, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.interiordefine.com\" target=\"_blank\">Interior Define<\/a>, have opened their doors for a night of music. Some concerts have even been held in individual lofts and apartments.<\/p>\n<p>These spaces are perfect since the size of a typical concert ranges from 50 to 100 people attending. The largest event welcomed 150 goers to the 99<sup>th<\/sup> floor of Willis Tower. One of the coolest Sofar venues was on top of the Olympic ski jump in Olso, Norway.<\/p>\n<p>Sofar Sounds is preparing to launch its #GiveaHome series on September 20. Partnered with Amnesty International, hundreds of small events will be held in support of refugees. Artists will be announced.
