COUCH

Couch: Blurring genre lines with soul, funk, pop, and a modern DIY aesthetic – in 2026, Couch will bring their debut album Big Talk to Europe, including a stop at Gretchen.

The Boston-based band Couch blends funk, pop, soul, and indie into a vibrant, genre-crossing sound. Their music is defined by punchy horns, warm vocals, and playful synths—modern in production but rich with handcrafted depth. Widely recognized as one of the most innovative young live bands on the U.S. scene, Couch resonates with musicians and non-musicians alike.

Couch spent nearly three years writing and recording over FaceTime 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).

With their first single, What Were You Thinking, Couch offers a glimpse into their evolved sound—more refined than ever, without losing the creative spark that sets them apart. Catch them live at Gretchen in Berlin on March 16, 2026.
