Friday, June 5 — we’re doing something different, Philly.
Sofar Philly is taking over the glass-walled garden at  (.florist) for a night inside the plants, under a ceiling you can still see the sky through. Intimate, enclosed, glowing — think secret greenhouse session, not a bar show.
The lineup is pure Philly-and-beyond songwriting:
Love? Said the Commander () — Kate Hall and Chris Bishop, the duo that builds soaring, graceful songs out of violin, intricate guitars and that commanding voice WXPN fell for first.
Birdie Busch () — Philly scene staple with honest, insightful songwriting and a delicate voice that’s opened for Dar Williams and Amos Lee. She’s been talking lately about her love for Germantown’s vibe, so this one feels like a homecoming.
 () — Jersey-based Americana/folk/soul traveler behind the critically-acclaimed Songs of Travel for the Vagabond (No Depression nominee). Two decades on the road sharing stages with everyone from  to Living Colour to Bone Thugs-N-Harmony, and he still makes a living room feel like a cathedral. 
Three acts. One room full of flowers. Zero distractions.
Come early, stay late, bring someone who needs live music right now.
📍 Pomelo Florist — 5336 Germantown Ave
🗓 Friday, June 5 | Doors 7pm
🎟 Tickets via Sofar link in bio — these will go fast

Sofar’s stepping out of the living room this week — and we’re heading west.

Join us Thursday, May 28th at 7:30pm at in downtown Ardmore for a sweet, low-key hang. We’re bringing the incredible () with us — TEDx performer, vocal coach, and the voice behind Sofar favorites and her recent “Twilight in the Gardens” series.

Forecast says 80 degrees and golden hour. Lu & Aug’s is an artisanal soft-serve spot open Thursdays 7:30 - 10pm, known for vegan vanilla, affogatos, and proper milkshakes; perfect for cooling down between songs.

No secret address this time, just good ice cream, good company, and Maya’s intimate set in the wild. Pull up, grab a shake, say hi.
See you in Ardmore.
