Opening for Bonnie Paine of Elephant Revival | Eugene Aug. 5 | Seattle Aug. 7

I’m opening for Bonnie Paine of Elephant Revival at WOW Hall in Eugene on August 5th, plus Ballard Homestead in Seattle on August 7th — celebrating her debut solo album Unseen.

Gregory Alan Isakov and I had the same fashion sense the night The Weatherman was released.

Balloons, a getaway car with zero visibility, and a fashion coincidence with Gregory Alan Isakov himself — this is my story of the night The Weatherman was born.

Someone Is Keeping You Company

Six years in Nashville in a flash — Geoffrey Louis Koch traces the highlights through photos and quick stories. Promo stickers above urinals, ice-covered Knoxville, panic attacks at the Field of Dreams, matching outfits with Gregory Alan Isakov, and looking like a snack at the Mercy Lounge.

Boulder

BoulderBeat tells all of Boulder to come to the show, Denver delivers a generous listening room crowd at Fort Greene, Jacob Russo brings great songs, and Geoffrey Louis Koch closes his set with Gregory Alan Isakov’s “Master And A Hound.” Red Rocks Sunday. Colorado is delivering.

Next Record Vision & WDVX Blue Plate Special

Geoffrey Louis Koch previews his next record’s sonic vision — Boys For Pele meets Elliott Smith, Bon Iver, Gregory Alan Isakov, Jimmy Eat World’s Clarity, Springsteen’s Nebraska, and Nathaniel Rateliff. Also: WDVX Blue Plate Special tomorrow, Tori Amos rediscovered, and a public apology to artists he’s fanboyed.

Blue Plate Special, Knoxville

Geoffrey Louis Koch announces WDVX Blue Plate Special in Knoxville, wonders about Gregory Alan Isakov’s live Colorado Symphony record, and can’t stop thinking about what Ben Howard’s “I Forget Where We Were” almost did — but didn’t do — and why that’s enough.

Who Has Sat On That Couch

One month after recording it, Geoffrey Louis Koch’s Daytrotter session is live — and he is fully, unabashedly giddy about being illustrated. Walls lined with legends, a bloody Andrew WK poster next to Gregory Alan Isakov, and the overwhelming thought: who has sat on that couch? Everybody.

Giving Away My Baby

Geoffrey Louis Koch is one week from sending the Follow The Voices masters to the CD duplication company — like giving away a baby, or birthing one, he’s not sure which. Kickstarter coming in mid-April.
