About Coach The Band -
Couch The Band is a Boston-based band.
Couch infuses pop with funk, rock, and R&B/soul. Their vibrant sound is further defined by the members’ backgrounds in jazz, a cappella, and musical theatre.
Until Spring 2021, Couch members were scattered across the country at various universities; they tackled the challenges of being a “long-distance” band, writing and even recording virtually for three years.
Despite these challenges, they celebrated the release of their debut EP, “COUCH,” in February 2021 as well as three new singles and a 20-city headline tour in 2022.
The band injects each track with their signature flavor: expressive horns, warm vocals, and bubbling synths—crafting an oasis of joy for musicians and non-musicians alike.
