Dave Garwacke used to host live music shows in his basement in New Paltz, NY. When he moved to Brooklyn before the summer of 2006 he realized he had no way of proving that these great shows actually happened. He saved up some money and began documenting the extremely talented musicians around him and recorded over 50 shows that summer. In order to better control the sound and lighting he began The Pink Couch Sessions. He invited artists over to his apartment records them playing a one-of-a-kind accoustic song on his pink couch and posts the videos.
