Couch Brings a Heavy, Funk-Soaked Groove to CBS Saturday Sessions with Bassist Will Griffin

Couch brought serious energy to CBS Saturday Sessions with their performance of “On The Wire.” The Boston-based group has built a reputation for tight, feel-good funk and soul, and this live take shows exactly why.

Holding down the low end is Will Griffin, who recently sat down with No Treble for an interview that’s well worth checking out. His tone on this performance is thick and articulate, sitting perfectly in the mix while keeping the whole band grounded and moving.

Will is playing his Sandberg bass through a Bergantino head, and the result is a clean yet powerful sound that punches through without ever losing warmth. The pocket he creates here is undeniable. It’s the kind of playing that makes you nod your head and remember why we all love the groove.

Couch is on tour now, bringing this same infectious energy to stages across the country. If they’re coming near you, it’s worth making the trip to catch that groove in person.
