25 years ago, June 1982 to be exact, something began to bubble on Varick Street in lower Manhattan. Fueled by a total commitment to exposing the music, culture and heritage to as many people as possible, Larry Gold opened the doors to what would become New York City's premier venue for world music; Sounds Of Brazil, commonly known as S.O.B.'S.

S.O.B.'s 4,000 square foot space caters to the tastes of both seasoned New Yorker's as well as visitors by providing top-notch entertainment in an intimate setting. In fact, the club has developed a reputation amongst artists and industry insiders as the place to check for trends and artists on the cusp of a breakthrough to the mainstream. The list of performers who have honed their pre-fame chops on the artist-friendly stage at S.O.B.'S is a veritable who's who of well-known artists. Even more impressive is the number of artists who have reached mainstream success but still chose to return to S.O.B.s to maintain an intimate connection with their audience. Some past performers include Tito Puente, Astrud Gilberto, Lucky Dube, The Roots, John Legend, Circo, Aterciopelados, Fela Kuti, Damien Marley, Common, Vusi Mahlasela, Celia Cruz, and Jorge Ben.

Beyond the music, S.O.B.'S is known for serving some of the finest cuisine in the area with a menu that features Latin and Brazilian specialties in a relaxed, friendly and fun atmosphere where the party never stops. Whether you enjoy the familiar or the eclectic, there is always something special happening at S.O.B.'S, much like the neighborhood of which the venue is a part. So take some time out from your hectic schedule and treat yourself to a tropical getaway right in the heart of SoHo! Come in, check your troubles at the door and enjoy dinner, an exotic cocktail and a great show!
