Thursday x SoFar Sounds
Sofar Sounds and Thursday are taking over Upstairs at Bow for a night of live music and single people. One surprise artist. One intimate set. A room full of cute humans who are all very much not taken.
The lights go down, the music starts, and suddenly it’s way easier to talk to the person next to you. Between songs you’re trading smiles, grabbing drinks, and maybe realizing you’ve got a little crush by the second chorus.
Come for the music.
Stay for the sparks.
Dress cute, bring your energy, and let the band do the ice-breaking 💘🎶

In between songs, the audience listens while the performers discuss music and life in general.
The event is free but you may want to donate $10-$20 for the performers.
