One of our favorite conversations SOFA(r) comes courtesy of Boston-based funk-pop outfit Couch.
Since releasing their debut EP in 2021, the group has earned a reputation as a must-see on the festival and club circuit– supporting acts like Ripe, Cory Wong, and Sammy Rae between main-stage appearances at Levitate Music and Arts and Boston Calling.
Since releasing their debut full-length LP, the band has garnered press from esteemed outlets such as CBS, NPR, and the Boston Globe.
Bassist Will Griffin and trumpeter Jeffery Pinsker-Smith join us to discuss the new album, bolstering creativity and camaraderie while in active lockdown, picture frames, locked gates, CO2 canisters, and a whole lot more.
Their latest record “Big Talk” was released in October of 2025. The next leg of the namesake tour begins in Indianapolis, Indiana on July 17th and includes two dates in our home state of Vermont supporting Lake Street Dive at the Shelburne Museum on August 11th and 12th.
