Ep. 1: Riffing with Kurt Bloch

Our guest on Episode 89 is a living legend in Seattle, the Pacific Northwest, and beyond. Mr Kurt Bloch has been blazing the guitar since the 70s and also happens to have one of the craziest guitar collections around Seattle. This conversation was a blast and we covered everything from his deep interest and knowledge of Coronets/Wilshires/Crestwoods to his seeing Van Halen and Judas Priest separately on the same night in 1979. I feel like I could listen to Kurt tell stories for another 3 hours and not even bat an eye. I hope you enjoy this one as much as I did!  If you enjoy the Couch Riffs Podcast and/or our videos please consider becoming a monthly pledge supporter for as little as .99/month.
