<p><strong>Louise Goffin</strong> is a songwriter, musician, and producer with a rich, multi-decade career, spanning 10 solo albums as both a major-label act and her current status as an independent, business-savvy creator both on and off stage. Goffin became a dedicated musician at an early age, opening for <strong>Jackson Browne</strong> at the world-famous Troubadour when she was 17 and releasing her debut,<em> Kid Blue</em>, as a teenager. She has since performed with some of music’s biggest names; a personal highlight was playing lead guitar and singing harmony on tour with <strong>Tears For Fears</strong>. She also is a trained producer — recently a graduate of a six-month course at Nashville’s Blackbird Academy — who produced <strong>Carole King</strong>’s GRAMMY-nominated LP,<em> A Holiday Carole</em>. A natural historian who remains dedicated to exploring, preserving, and demystifying iconic songs, Goffin is behind the new<em>Song Chronicles</em> podcast, the successor to the acclaimed podcast she co-hosted with <strong>Paul Zollo</strong>, <em>The Great Song Adventure</em>. As the creative director of The Goffin &amp; King Foundation, Goffin also works to preserve the legacy of her parents, Carole King and <strong>Gerry Goffin</strong>, through providing educational opportunities for songwriters, performers, and musicians. Goffin’s latest release, 2020’s<strong> <em>Two Different Movies</em></strong>, is a cinematic record that finds its creator nodding to multiple influences: classic pop, rootsy rock ‘n’ roll, jazzy piano ballads, strutting glam, and the California folk-pop that&#8217;s emanated from her Laurel Canyon stomping grounds for decades. The album cover is special, too: it is a hand-drawn portrait of Goffin by <strong>Joni Mitchell,</strong> which connects her inspired present with her equally inspiring past.</p>
