SofaSounds

Join us for Sofasounds, a uniquely intimate live music experience at The Drop Off! Born nearly seven years ago, this event was inspired by a love for music, creativity, and connection—a vibe I first discovered while backpacking in India, where I’d gather with friends to jam, share poetry, and simply enjoy the moment.

Starting as a small jam night in our 40-seater café, Sofasounds has grown into a wholesome and immersive gig experience, now hosted in our cozy events space. It’s a low-key yet deeply satisfying night out, where local artists share their original music, alongside some favourite covers. Many of our regulars have walked away with new favourite artists, making this night something truly special.

🎵 What to Expect: ✨ A host artist performing two 45-minute sets of original music & covers 🎤 An open mic slot during the break—anyone in the audience can jump on stage for up to 2 songs! 🔥 A relaxed, intimate setting, perfect for discovering fresh talent and soaking in the music

Our hosts are handpicked from Market Street buskers, our favourite independent venues like The Whiskey Jar, and beyond - ensuring every Sofasounds night is filled with incredible musicianship and a welcoming atmosphere.

📅 Don’t miss out! Grab a drink, settle in, and experience live music in its purest form. See you there!

Are you an artist & want to perform? We welcome you to bring your instruments along with you, please let us know prior so we can ensure you have a slot available.
