What is The Blind Cafe Experience?
The Blind Cafe Experience is an internationally touring positive social change dinner, discussion & intimate music pop-up experience featuring the original music of Rosh & the Blind Cafe Orchestra and The Richie Flores Project held in 100% darkness, no blindfolds! The audience literally breaks bread over dinner, engages in a meaningful social impact discussion with legally Blind Ambassadors, and experiences an unparalleled live concert…all held in 100% pure, certified organic darkness!
Our Mission
The Blind Cafe’s mission is to use the concept of engaging socially in 100% darkness to inspire and initiate ‘positive social change’ in the lives of everyone who participates in our programs. We seek to entertain and educate persons on how to relate to themselves and others with a greater sense of compassion and offer an experience that inspires them to think, feel and behave beyond their visual conditioning, social etiquette and their cell phones.
Our Story
The Blind Cafe Experience began in 2010 when American songwriter Rosh, inspired by a "cafe in the dark" experience in Reykjavik, Iceland, launched The Blind Cafe Experience pop-up events, featuring a community family style dinner, a social impact discussion with legally blind ambassadors and a live concert of original music performed in 100% darkness accompanied by an evolving orchestral group ‘Rosh & The Blind Cafe Orchestra’
In 2011, Rosh partnered with Lead Blind Ambassadors James Jackson and performing song-writer Richie Flores to bring something positive to the world that makes real connections happen. Something to help pull people out of their usual ruts and into something real.

“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.”
