Gatch is a singer, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist from New England. He grew up at the mouth of the Long Island Sound, staring out into the great beyond in anticipation of what would surely be a lifetime of adventure.

 

That sense of curiosity has always been part of his music. Growing up in southeastern Connecticut, surrounded by maritime history and stories of people setting out into the unknown, he was drawn to writers like Tolkien, Robert Louis Stevenson, and Jules Verne - artists who understood that searching for something can be just as important as finding it.

 

Music found him early. He started writing songs on the family piano as soon as he could talk, and the guitar found him soon after. In middle school, he met his long-time partner and band mate Aaron Lewis, and they would go on to cut their teeth in Connecticut’s underground Chinese restaurant scene. Over the past two decades, he has developed a cinematic sonic palate that pulls from a wide variety of influences from the world’s boundless repository of folk music to the top of the pops. His music is emotionally honest and difficult to categorize, the kind that rewards the listener who stays.

 

A two-time Boston Music Awards nominee, he has been featured in The Boston Globe, The Boston Herald, and Vanyaland's Top 20 Year-End list, and has performed sold out shows across the Northeast.

 

In 2018, he connected with producer The Arcitype and together they brought to life 2019’s Life From Zhang’s and 2021’s Party People. His second full-length album is currently in production. His latest release, “JACKIE” is out now on all platforms.
