About Couch: Couch spent nearly three years writing and recording remotely before ever stepping foot on a stage together. What began as a long-distance experiment between high school and college friends—crafting songs from bedrooms across the country—eventually fueled their self-titled debut EP and a string of singles, culminating in a breakout 20-city headline tour in 2022. After returning to Boston, the band released their sophomore EP, Sunshower, in 2023, followed by a two-part, 40-city U.S. headline tour, appearances at Boston Calling and Levitate, and a sold-out debut UK run. They’ve since toured with Lake Street Dive and Cory Wong (Vulfpeck) on his U.S. and European tours, with past opening slots for St. Paul & The Broken Bones, Sammy Rae, and Ripe. Now, Couch is preparing to release their debut full-length album Big Talk, paired with a 40-city international headline tour featuring marquee stops at Roadrunner (Boston), The Fonda (LA), Brooklyn Steel (NYC), and 9:30 Club (DC). The first single, “What Were You Thinking,” is available everywhere now! “Couch is kicking it old school with a delightful, modern twist… They are single (or seven)-handedly breathing new life into the pop scene.” – Sheesh Media About Stephen Day: “When you hear something that makes you feel alive, that reminds you just how precious and beautiful this world can be, there’s nothing else quite like it,” says Stephen Day. “It’s like striking gold.” Day should know. Gold Mine, the Georgia native’s latest full-length album, is a dazzling, genre-blending triumph, one that proudly wears its heart on its sleeve as it tips its cap to everything from Frank Sinatra and Glen Campbell to John Mayer and Stevie Wonder. Written and recorded in Day’s adopted hometown of Nashville, Tennessee, the collection pairs vintage melodic sensibilities with a modern sonic palette to forge a sound that’s equal parts neo-soul and classic country. The songs are bold and joyful, with warm, lush arrangements and big, infectious hooks, and Day’s performances are nothing short of spellbinding, his impossibly smooth vocals matched only by his evocative guitar playing and multi-instrumental wizardry. Not everything from the Gold Mine sessions ended up on the final album, though, and now Day is back with Moonshine, a three-track companion EP that picks up where the original record left off. “This EP is like a lost piece of the puzzle for me,” Day explains. “It’s an extension of the sounds I was exploring on Gold Mine, but it also stands alone as its own little world.” Born to a pastor and a nurse practitioner in Buford, Georgia, Day first discovered the power of music in church, where he was surrounded by singers and instruments every Sunday morning. After learning a few basic chords on his mom’s old nylon string guitar, Day became obsessed with writing his own songs and began teaching himself how to play any instrument he could get his hands on. “As soon as I started writing and singing, there was nothing else I could envision doing with the rest of my life,” he recalls. “It was just off to the races from there.” At 18, Day moved to Nashville, and the next year, he released a six-track EP titled Undergrad Romance and the Moses in Me. The collection became a streaming juggernaut—Day’s catalog has amassed more than 140 million streams to date—and helped set the stage for a series of early records that would land him a deal with Riser House, a sync placement in the Will Ferrell comedy Strays, and tour dates with the likes of Stephen Sanchez, Teddy Swims, Allen Stone, Lawrence, and Ben Rector. “I’ve always loved the rawness of playing live,” says Day, who’s sold out headline shows in New York, Nashville, DC, Atlanta, Chicago, and more. “It’s a chance to breathe new life into the songs, to tap into the moment and let the tracks reveal new facets of themselves every night.” In the studio, however, Day took a much more deliberate and methodical approach, laying down nearly all of the instruments on Gold Mine himself in collaboration with producer Micah Tawlks (Hayley Williams, The Brook & The Bluff). “I’ve always been somebody who digs deep and chases down parts until I find exactly what I hear in my head,” says Day, who penned much of the album by flipping through a book of William Eggleston photography and writing songs inspired by the characters and scenes. “Micah’s a total vibe guru with amazing taste, and I knew I could trust his instincts, so we just spent a lot of time in the studio tossing drum patterns and bass lines and guitar parts back and forth until we knew we had something really special on our hands.” While the finished album was a critical and fan favorite, Day felt there was still more he wanted to say and experience with the music. “I wrote a song called ‘Moonshine’ that just didn’t quite fit the record,” he recalls, “but I loved it so much that I started writing other tracks to go with it, and suddenly I’d created this whole other universe of songs. They were a little bit different from Gold Mine, a little brighter with more of a soulful southern rock element to them, but still with enough of that same underlying classic pop structure to tie them all in with the rest of the album.” Fueled by an addictive guitar lick and dreamy vocals, “Moonshine” is indeed a breezy pop gem that lands somewhere in between Nashville and Motown as it revels in the freedom and possibility of youth and young love. Like the songs on Gold Mine, it’s a visceral sonic feast, but there’s a newfound sense of liberation here, too, an anything-goes approach to the arrangement and production that showcases the continued evolution of Day and Tawlks’ thrilling creative chemistry. Opening track “Sweet Iced Tea” offers up a similarly intoxicating country/R&B fusion as it surrenders to the power of desire and infatuation, and the bittersweet “Old News” mixes the timeless poignancy of Chet Baker with the aching twang of Waylon Jennings to craft a mesmerizing rumination on heartbreak and loss. “I’m always trying to push the envelope with my recordings,” Day explains. “I’m inspired by older music, but I’ve never had any interest in making something retro. I want to chase new sounds, break down barriers, discover something unexpected.” With Moonshine, Stephen Day has once again struck gold. Questions about parking, food, ticketing or accessibility?
