Sofar Sounds (or Songs from a Room) is a program where members sign up to be invited to a private concert. The events started in London in March 2009 by Rafe Offer, Rocky Start and Dave Alexander. The lineup for the concert is not disclosed until the event starts, while the location is only announced the day before. The ethos behind this is that highlighting headlining acts encourages people to turn up late and not respect the other performers. All genres are welcome to apply to perform. Local city leaders〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=https://www.linkedin.com/title/city-leader-at-sofar-sounds )〕 and their review teams curate the evenings. There are now more than 100 Sofar Sounds gigs each month, many of which are hosted in members’ living rooms. Sofar has communities in more than 150 cities worldwide.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.straight.com/blogra/495836/sofar-sounds-marks-its-first-anniversary-vancouver )〕 Musicians, bands and artists can sign up to play at these events, choosing to be paid from voluntary attendee contributions via a hat being passed around the audience (or in some cities, digital donations), or having their gig filmed, edited into a high quality video and uploaded to the Sofar Sounds YouTube channel which is also shared on the website www.sofarsounds.com. Some gigs are live-streamed. Typically, three artists perform at each gig. Emphasis is placed on the crowd being respectful – switching off their phones and listening.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.eastendreview.co.uk/2014/05/13/sofar-sounds-rafe-offar/ )〕 Many cities have wait lists for attendance. There are around 2,000 requests for each London gig, but invitations to the purposely-small gig will only be extended to 50-60 of those applicants. In June 2015 Sofar Sounds teamed up with Uber to host a series of secret gigs. UK acts include James Bay, Wolf Alice and Bastille, who raised money for charity War Child. Will Young was a surprise guest and there has been an appearance from Robert Pattinson and Yeah Yeah Yeahs front woman Karen O. Some US acts include X Ambassadors, Leon Bridges and Fantastic Negrito, while acts such as Núria Graham and Ali Somay have played Sofar Barcelona and Sofar Istanbul respectively. == References == 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Sofar Sounds」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
