Our Mission…

By ‘positively’ engaging people socially in 100% darkness with live music, meaningful discussion & the act of breaking bread communally…without the distractions of visual conditioning, social etiquette, and cell phones…we explore how we can positively impact the quality of how people relate to themselves and others.

“There is something about engaging in organic conversation in a room full of strangers who can’t see each other that instills a sense of community among the group. At the end....it feels as if your waking up from a collective dream, that you somehow shared with everyone around you.””
— Hayley Besecker | 7 x 7 Magazine SF

“The Blind Cafe Music In The Dark Experience is something that gives music freaks a completely new way to enjoy and appreciate live music, kind of the same way that MTVs Unplugged did back in the day… but Concerts in the Dark, makes Unplugged seem like child’s play.
”
— — The Marquee, Colorado's Best Live Music Magazine
 
 

What's The Story Behind The Blind Cafe? 

The Blind Café was started by Rosh, a Boulder based singer-songwriter, who attended a dark café in Reykjavik, Iceland while on tour in 2007. After engaging socially in the dark, he designed an intimate live music listening and dinner experience held in 100% darkness. The experience is designed to help break down social barriers through the act of ‘breaking bread’ in community.

The music performed by his band ‘Rosh & The Blind Café Orchestra’ + other featured musical guests is an active music listening experience, designed to allow guests to open up and experience music in way that is uncommon in our modern cultural society.

Facilitated by our legally blind ambassadors from all throughout the United States, The Blind Café Experience is composed of three parts: the social impact discussion, the community dinner, and the music listening experience.

Did you know?  

By supporting The Blind Cafe (via purchasing tickets to our shows, hiring us for a private event or making a donation), we are able to create meaningful work opportunities for both our blind and sighted staff and support our growing roster of Performing Artists.  

For most arts organizations, theater groups and musical acts, tickets sales only cover a small percentage of the costs of bringing you the arts, education & entertainment you love! We appreciate your support in helping us pay our production and operating costs! 

Your support also helps us innovate new and powerful social impact in the dark experiences that can provide value, connection, and a better understanding of ourselves and others. One of these programs is our Dismantling Racism program currently being piloted in Boulder, CO. 

The Blind Cafe supports METAS! 

For 2021, The Blind Cafe will be contributing a portion of proceeds from our public and private Blind Cafe Experiences to METAS! The Blind Cafe supports the METAS program to help educate and empower blind students in Mexico!
