Call A Thing By Its Right Name

On a Midwest tour behind Follow The Voices, Geoffrey Louis Koch recorded a Daytrotter session, visited the Field of Dreams, and watched Ferguson explode on the news. A dispatch from the road during one of America’s most difficult moments of the era.

Must Be Great To Live There

Geoffrey Louis Koch hits Boulder and Denver — a sold out No Name Bar show, Nathaniel Rateliff and the Night Sweats at Red Rocks, Caroline Rose, Shovels and Rope, Molly Brown’s house, and a warm conversation with Nathaniel Rateliff at the after party.

Denver

Geoffrey Louis Koch lands in Denver, sets up camp at Huckleberry Roasters on Pecos Street, inherits his dad’s flair for the dramatic, and lets the thoughts line up like jazz. Songs tomorrow night at Fort Greene with Jacob Russo. Free. Hot. Come on.

She Was Standing On Home Plate

The Chess Match Of Car Sleeping

Geoffrey Louis Koch wakes up in a motel parking lot in Champaign to a death scowl at 6:30am, freezes in a Panera, critiques a $5.25 veggie burger, and philosophizes about the chess match of finding the perfect car sleeping spot before heading to Uncommon Ground in Chicago with Ross.

Just Like The Old Days

First show of the first Follow The Voices tour — booking agent vanished, no one knew Geoffrey Louis Koch was playing, slept in the car anyway. Cue Cameron McGill on the stereo and the memory of 94 degrees at midnight in Tallahassee after another show no one saw.
