Rafe Offer is bringing a concert to a living room near you – anywhere in the world. By Patrick O’Heffernan

October 2, 2015

  (London) My first SOFAR-LA concert was held at a home in Los Angeles.  I didn’t know what to expect  – maybe one or two acoustic folky duos, playing with a primitive sound system to room full of middle-aged people sitting in chairs sipping wine.  That is not what happened…it was way better. There were three alt. rock bands, plenty of electronics, fabulous sound system, wall-to-wall millennials and no chairs.  But there was a laser-like focus on the music. This happens multiple times a week in over 181 cities around the world and it all started in a London living room because a marketing guy from Chicago named Rafe Offer loved music and wanted to hear it without the noise and expense of clubs and big venues. So he created SOFAR – Sounds From A Room. He took time from managing his global musical empire of volunteers and bands to talk with me from London.   Patrick.
