Louise Goffen and Friends at Sweetwater Music Hall
Date: Sunday, February 16, 2025
Time: Doors Open at 7:00pm and Show Starts at 8:00pm
Singer-songwriter, recording artist, and producer, Louise Goffin has been making music since she was 8. With some very special songwriter friends, the audience will be taken on a transformational journey all about SONGS, their power, and what great songwriting can bring to our culture. An engaging and entertaining listening experience, promising the stories behind songs well known and how new ones are written – with a rare treasure trove of stories. The daughter of legendary songwriters Carole King and Gerry Goffin, Louise Goffin has exquisitely carried on their legacy while establishing herself as a formidable, multi-talented singer-songwriter in her own right over the past few decades. Her lifelong dedication to the craft shone through on a diverse set of infectious, rhythmically diverse tunes (many being performed for the first time) drawing her rich array of pop, folk, rock and R&B influences.
Her insightful storytelling and vibrant, visually compelling lyrics kept the appreciative audience rapt, hanging on for the next line of each musical tale. Goffin balanced lighthearted charmers like “It Started A Long Time Ago” and the peppy folk/soul singalong “Playbook” with lilting, lush ballads like “Chinatown” and her summery latest single “All These Hellos.” She wrapped the set paying homage to her parents with a rousing take on “Natural Woman” and her father’s dynamic but lesser known “It’s Not the Spotlight.”
With her illuminating smile shining throughout the set and colorful introductory anecdotes before every tune, Goffin made everyone in the audience feel an intimate connection with her. With a commanding yet whimsical onstage presence and a pure voice that switched easily from gossamer to guttural, she presented her tunes in an engaging way while inviting the crowd into her life, passion and process. Goffin offers a unique combination of being a seasoned singer, songwriter and performer with the kind of youthful charm and gentle innocence of artists just starting out.
