Stephen Koch
Award-winning print and broadcast journalist Stephen Koch will be the guest speaker at IABC/Arkansas’s July member luncheon on July 31 at the Little Rock Club at the Regions Bank building.
Koch has been researching and reporting on Arkansas music and popular culture for more than a decade. His radio program and podcast, Arkansongs, is heard weekly by thousands across the globe and syndicated on National Public Radio affiliates across the state, including on KUAR FM-89 in Little Rock.
Koch also organized a series of Louis Jordan Tribute concerts honoring the music and influence of the Brinkley-born R&B, rap and rock ‘n’ roll pioneer and raising funds for a bust of Jordan which is now on display in his Delta hometown. The concerts have been recognized by the U.S. Library of Congress and the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. His role in memorializing R&B pioneer Louis Jordan is also chronicled in the documentary film Is You Is: A Louis Jordan Story, while Koch’s musical on the life of Jordan, Jump!, premiered at Wildwood Park in 2008.
Koch has spoken on the topic of Arkansas music and history before the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, St. Louis’ City Museum and the Arkansas Historical Association. He has consulted on such projects as the Old State House Museum’s “Our Own Sweet Sounds” exhibits and the Arkansas Black Hall of Fame’s exhibit in the Mosaic Templars Cultural Center.
