Two years ago at a super intimate Root Down In The Shadow house show, before Sofar Sounds: Boston existed, Max García Conover met up with Mark Schafer, the Boston Sofar Area Coordinator. Mark must have heard something he liked as Max was selected for the 2nd Sofar Sounds: Boston show that November, 2013. Since then, Max has been popping up at Sofar Sounds all over North America.
I was able to catch up with Max to see why he keeps coming back for more Sofar Sounds shows. He explained, "I've played Sofar Sounds shows in Fort Worth, Philadelphia, New York City, Boston, Montreal, and Maine, and they were all great. House concerts are some of my favorite shows to play in general, but there's an intensity to Sofar Sounds shows that's hard to match - having a room full of strangers give their utmost attention to music that's unknown to them is a special, rare experience. Sofar magically seems to deliver that every time."
Here's a glimpse of that magic from Boston, Fort Worth, and Montreal.
