This week’s episode features Portland, OR-based Brian Koch, who is not only a seasoned indie and folk rocker having performed all over the world, he’s one of the nicest, funniest, and utterly most humble dudes you could meet. With the band Blitzen Trapper, co-founding member Koch and the band truly soared into the pop culture zeitgeist on the release of Furr, a 2008 record (and single of the same name) on Sub Pop records that earned raves from Rolling Stone (ascending to #4 on the top 100 singles of 2008, three spots behind Beyonce’s ‘Single Ladies’, ‘LES Artistes’ by Santogold, and ‘Time to Pretend’ by MGMT). More recently Brian turned to acting and formed Dead Lee, a duo with singer and guitarist Cara Harris (now disbanded) after some terrific records. Koch now tours as Leo Moon, as a solo performer, with a current album in the works showcasing his delicate fretwork, mesmerizing voice, and arresting lyrical storytelling. So grab a beer, relax, and enjoy this episode of Soul Boat Sessions with Brian Koch.
