Sofar Sounds: A Sofar gig is an intimate show held in an unique venue, like someone’s living room or an antique shop. It typically features three artists, playing four songs each. Every lineup is specially curated to give our audiences a diverse show.

Noé Socha: Noé Socha is a Brooklyn-based guitar and harmonica player originally from the small town of Carpi, Italy. He is influenced by folk artists such as Bob Dylan and Neil Young, Delta blues musicians such as Mississippi John Hurt, Muddy Waters, and Lightnin’ Hopkins plus a hint of Hendrix-esque flavor. Noé has created his own signature sound, pairing fiery guitar technique with virtuosic harmonica playing.

After winning several awards at Berklee College of Music including the ”Jimi Hendrix Award” for the college’s leading guitarist and the “Billboard Magazine Endowed Scholarship” presented to the college’s top student, Noé has had the great honor of touring, performing, and recording with artists such as Nona Hendrix (Labelle), Vernon Reid (Living Color), and GRAMMY Award-Winners, Javier Limón and Paula Cole.

Currently, Noé is gigging, recording, and touring as one half of Likho Duo. They released their first album, Blues and the World Beyond, in August of 2017.

“…VOCALIST LEE TAYLOR. THE SINGER’S UNCOMMON VOICE EVOKED SOMETHING OF BESSIE SMITH OR BILLIE HOLIDAY, BUT INVESTED HER MUSIC AND THE DANCE WITH WHAT WAS VERY MUCH HER OWN MEZMERIZING TAKE.”

— Jon W. Sparks, The Commercial Appeal

Ruby Rae writes and performs music that defies easy categorization: a catalogue of influences would include Wanda Jackson, Mazzy Star, and Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds. Both vibrant and dark, simultaneously catchy and psychological, the sound is cinematic and complex, drawing on diverse sources that include folklore, mythology, horror films, and autobiography. The albums are conceptual and thematic, and her latest album “The Uncanny” (2016) was inspired during a residency at the Akumal International Art Residency in Mexico.

Guests TBA
