Below is footage from the Philly branch of the Songs From a Room (Sofar) concert series.
It is an innovative concept, dedicated to bringing the best of new music to an unplugged, intimate, unusual space or venue. Mix in a crowd of dedicated music lovers, other artists, and industry professionals, and you have an evening which promises electric performances and new networks.
Currently Sofar has branched off to New York, London, Paris, DC, Sydney, LA, India, Dallas…and now Philadelphia!
The video was recorded on January 29, 2012 at a living room in Queens Village by Jeremy Quattlebaum (The Angry Mountain Man). It features performances by The Spinning Joneses (“She’s a Dreamer” – at the 8 min mark), Asbury Park’s Lightning Jar, and the spoken word of Ms. Wise. Special thanks to The Key for bringing it to our attention.
