I know way way way more about the music industry than the CC game, so I’ll take this crossover moment to mention that Sofar Sounds is notorious for not paying artists a decent rate. I personally will never play or attend a show of theirs. There is a real DIY/house show scene in EVERY town in this nation, seriously. You can find it if you try. If you’re looking to support artists look elsewhere.

For Skillshare, a three-month free trial is valued at $96 ($32 per month) and an annual subscription is $180 at full price. https://www.skillshare.com/premium The renewal deal is a $54 discount for Visa Infinite ($126 for 1 year) or $36 discount for Visa Signature ($144 for 1 year).

Note: Skillshare TOS says this offer can’t be stacked with other free trials. They do have free classes after your Premium membership runs out, though: https://www.skillshare.com/browse/free-classes

In case you were wondering too, Sofar Sounds plays at non-concert venues (e.g. a person’s house, public square, small section of waterfront sidewalk, etc.). You don’t know the artists or location ahead of time (artists you find out when they play and the place is sent to you 36hrs prior) they’re usually unplugged, usually byob, and may be pet friendly. Artists get paid a baseline plus a bonus if extra tickets are sold and keep all merch sales. Sometimes they’re free and they pass around a hat for tips, in which case Sofar sets it up for free and doesn’t keep any tips.

Sounds pretty awesome if you’re in a city where they host things.
