About Me

The following is humorous:To call Chris Goscha eclectic would be an understatement. From driving melodies to thoughtful lyrics on top of stickysweet rhythms, his music defies a single category. Chris and his eclectic brand of optimistic funk are set to take the music world by storm.A writer, performer, and true lover of music, this Denver native has always pushed the boundaries of genre definition to create a sound that is all his own. Recording on everything from a borrowed rig with a rented bass to a four-track in his parents’ basement, Chris' first recording session was in 2002.Always looking for new ways to approach his creativity, Chris has taken on every aspect of the production of his latest album, from writing to engineering. His songs take a simple guitar-based backbone and infuse it with layers of rhythm, electronic sounds and percussion. This most recent LP has been cited as Chris' most ambitious work to date, blending the simple melodic structures of acoustic folk with a more alternative, funky sound.As Chris grows as an artist, he strives to keep the vibe simple, the lyrics true and the beats irresistible. Chris says, "I do this for the pure joy it brings to my life. Hopefully I can share some of that with my audience". His efforts have paved the way for success in Colorado and beyond. This soulful storyteller is excited to see where his musical journey will take him and hopes to inspire others with his distinctive voice and energetic sound. ..
