Geoffrey Louis Koch (pronounced “Jeffrey Louis Coke”) is an indie folk singer-songwriter based in Eugene, Oregon, known for weaving cinematic textures, intimate storytelling, and emotionally resonant songwriting into a sound that’s both timeless and current. With deep roots in Nashville and St. Louis, Geoffrey has spent over two decades carving out his own space in the indie music landscape - one driven by authenticity, atmosphere, and quiet intensity.

His release, Follow The Voices, blends acoustic indie folk with symphonic orchestration - an ambitious and lushly produced project funded by a successful Kickstarter campaign and supported by a Midwestern tour that included a Daytrotter session. The album echoes the cinematic depth of Gregory Alan Isakov’s This Empty Northern Hemisphere and the raw, vulnerable edge of Bon Iver’s For Emma, Forever Ago. One of its standout tracks, “The Storm,” earned international recognition as a Lyric Finalist in the International Songwriting Competition, selected from over 18,000 global entries.

Geoffrey’s music often reflects a duality: both grounded and expansive, weathered and hopeful. He’s equally comfortable performing stripped-down solo sets in intimate listening rooms or fronting a full band in larger venues. Earlier in his career, he co-produced If It Feels Good, Don’t Do It with Wilco drummer Ken Coomer - a record that leans into indie rock energy while retaining the ambient-folk intensity he’s become known for.

Based for many years in St. Louis, Geoffrey gained local attention there by winning Best Singer-Songwriter. He gained regional attention as a featured artist in The Chevy Music Showcase, a music documentary series that aired on CBS and catapulted his reach to a wider audience. His song “Chasing After You” (winner of Best Demo from The Recording Academy’s Memphis Chapter) was spotlighted in the series and marked a turning point in his songwriting visibility.

Since 2000, Geoffrey has toured extensively across the U.S., playing hundreds of shows and sharing stages with many national acts - steadily building a career fueled by grassroots connection and word-of-mouth support. His earlier releases, Live At Lucas School House and Throwing Rocks At Your Ghost, laid the groundwork for the layered, refined sound he continues to evolve today.

Critics have described his work as “one part sturdy anchor, one part stunning ache,” likening him to artists like Glen Hansard, Elliott Smith, Ray LaMontagne, Phoebe Bridgers, and Death Cab For Cutie. Whether performing live or in the studio - Geoffrey’s music resonates with fans who seek depth, honesty, and melody - songs that linger long after the final note fades.
