SOFAR Hampton Roads No Shushing, Only Music: Read Between The Vibes

"No shushing, only music" — they said it, not us. 🤓 On September 12, the Meyera E. Oberndorf Central Library is trading silent stacks for live sound, and it's personal: our headliner BJ Griffin grew up checking out books from this exact library. Now he's coming back to headline it. And before the show even starts? This bus is booked. 🚌📚 @goingwithgoco is turning a transit bus into a full-on 1930s speakeasy right outside the library — think gold chandeliers, velvet curtains, a brick photo wall, and a mocktail mix station with a signature drink made just for the night. Doors to the secret stop open at 5:30pm, event starts at 7. Add in Akeylah Simone, Michael Giamille on sax, a literary marketplace from The Stacks, author Dr. Ashante M. Reese, and drinks by Twist Martini & Associates — and you've got a night that's part homecoming, part block party, part book club your English teacher never had.
