Friday, September 15th GEOFF KOCH/KURT SOUTH 8-10 pm
In Geoff Koch's year and a half on the performance circuit, this St. Louis-based artist has released both an EP Throwing Rocks at Your Ghost and live album Live at the Lucas School House. He's played with such well-respected acts as Clem Snide's Eef Barzelay, Owen, and Stephen Kellogg & the Sixers. This spring, he won the People's Choice Award for Best Singer-Songwriter in the St. Louis Music Awards. He's also garnered honors, awards and kudos from The Recording Academy, International Songwriting Competition and Billboard magazine's Worldwide Songwriting Competition.
Every single performance is an event, despite the fact that Geoff's just one guy, albeit with an arsenal that includes guitar, harmonica and piano. "I think my live show delivers someone who feels," says Geoff. "I remind people that they, too, are capable of universal emotions that, for whatever reason, sometimes escape them as life takes its course." Geoff's music reminds us why we love.and who we've lost.
KURT SOUTH is a singer-songwriter based in Ft. Worth, TX. He writes songs, plays gigs, records, and generally does the best he can. His current release is Seven Songs, available for purchase at kurtsouth.net. Seven Songs features Kurt and his guitar in a room with two microphones set up, and that's it. One take, simple and honest. Fall of 2006 will bring the release of another record, as well some new online exclusives available for free download.
