Geoffrey Louis Koch – FREE

About This Event

Indie Folk Geoffrey Louis Koch is an indie folk singer-songwriter based in Eugene, Oregon. His acoustic sound is cinematic and unguarded, built from stories excavated rather than invented.Geoffrey’s current single, “Hey Beth,” is an ethereal folk song about the impermanence of youth, dipped in brushstrokes of autumn’s golden haze and wisps of lingering woodsmoke. Thanks to a mini-viral moment, the video for “Hey Beth” has over 25,000 views on YouTube. His most ambitious album, Follow The Voices, echoes the expanse found in Gregory Alan Isakov’s This Empty Northern Hemisphere and the exhale of Bon Iver’s For Emma, Forever Ago. One of the standout tracks on Follow The Voices, “The Storm,” earned recognition as Lyric Finalist in the International Songwriting Competition.Earlier in his career, Geoffrey co-produced If It Feels Good, Don’t Do It on Nashville’s Music Row with Wilco drummer Ken Coomer — an album that explores experimental indie rock landscapes while keeping his truth-telling core intact. Geoffrey’s song “Chasing After You” won Best Demo from the Recording Academy’s Memphis Chapter and was featured in the Chevy Music Showcase, a CBS documentary series that introduced him to a much wider audience. In St. Louis, where he spent his formative years, he won the city’s People’s Choice award for Best Singer-Songwriter.Since 2005, Geoffrey has played over 550 shows of all shapes and sizes across the U.S. Along the journey he’s shared stages with Gregory Alan Isakov, The Verve Pipe, members of Wilco and Gin Blossoms, John Hiatt, Will Hoge, Bonnie Paine of Elephant Revival, and many others. His earlier releases — Live At Lucas School House and Throwing Rocks At Your Ghost — document the roots of the refined sound he continues to evolve today.
