Geoffrey Louis Koch is an indie folk singer-songwriter based in Eugene, Oregon. He’s been writing songs and performing across the U.S. for over twenty-five years. Many of his songs are guided expeditions deep into the invisible wounds, the battles you’ve waged alone. His music offers listeners a safe place to remember the wins and make peace with the wars. Catharsis.
His latest single, “Hey Beth,” is a harmonica-laced acoustic folk song set among cinematic golden hours and quiet goodnights — with a closing line that earns every second of the slow burn that preceded it. It’s racked up 25,000+ views on YouTube and it’s a good place to start.
Follow The Voices is his most ambitious record to date. Acoustic folk layered with symphonic orchestration, funded through Kickstarter and road-tested on a Midwestern tour that included a Daytrotter session. If you’ve ever put on Gregory Alan Isakov’s This Empty Northern Hemisphere or Bon Iver’s For Emma, Forever Ago at the end of a long day, you already know the neighborhood. One track, “The Storm,” was Lyric Finalist in the International Songwriting Competition out of more than 18,000 entries worldwide.
Earlier in his career, Geoffrey co-produced If It Feels Good, Don’t Do It with Wilco drummer Ken Coomer — an album that embraces indie rock territories while keeping his atmospheric folk core intact. His 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. He’s also taken home Best Singer-Songwriter in St. Louis, where he spent his formative years.
Geoffrey has played 500+ shows across the U.S., sharing stages with Gregory Alan Isakov, The Verve Pipe, members of Wilco, John Hiatt, Will Hoge, Kris Allen, and many others. His earlier releases — Live At Lucas School House and Throwing Rocks At Your Ghost — document the roots of a sound he’s been quietly refining ever since.
