Geoff Koch on Wilco, Play It Forward, and tonight’s show at Riot Room

Geoff Koch, singer-songwriter from St. Louis, has released a handful of CDs, and has toured and promoted himself and his songs like a crazy troubadour since 2004. His dedication and enthusiasm are starting to pay off — he’s been a featured performer at national music festivals, and his third CD, If It Feels Good, Don’t Do It, was produced by Ken Coomer (Wilco, Uncle Tupelo) and engineered by Charlie Brocco (Fleetwood Mac, George Harrison). We spoke with Koch to ask how his new material is coming along and how he identifies with the singer-songwriter title.
