Isakov will also soon perform across Europe in several upcoming shows with The Lumineers. See below for complete tour itinerary.
The forthcoming performances follow Isakov’s acclaimed album, Evening Machines, which was nominated for Best Folk Album at the 62nd GRAMMY Awards and debuted at #1 on Billboard’s Americana/Folk Albums chart. Out now via Isakov’s own label Suitcase Town Music in partnership with Dualtone Records (stream/purchase here), Evening Machines was recorded at a converted barn studio located on Isakov’s three-acre farm in Boulder County, CO, and was released to widespread critical acclaim. Of the record, NPR Music praised, “Evening Machines showcases his emotionally evocative songwriting style; rich in narrative detail and beautifully contemplative,” while Billboard declared, “characteristically ruminative…blending a gentle spaciousness with dusky atmospheres and carefully nuanced textures.”
Isakov has released four full-length albums as well as a special a collaborative record—2016’s Gregory Alan Isakov with the Colorado Symphony, which featured orchestral versions of some of Isakov’s most beloved songs. Released to widespread acclaim, NPR Music premiered the official music video for the song, “Liars,” praising, “Stunning imagery…an emotionally charged and poignant musical statement.” Ahead of the symphonic album, Isakov released 2013’s The Weatherman, which debuted at #1 on iTunes’ Singer/Songwriter chart. Of the album, The Washington Post declared, “an eloquent lyricist who delivers soul-searching ruminations filled with cosmic pondering, nomadic wisdom and plenty of earthy metaphors.”
Born in Johannesburg, South Africa, raised in Philadelphia, Isakov now calls Colorado home. When he isn’t on the road, he spends much of his time writing and recording songs in his barn studio, as well as running his farm in Boulder County, which provides produce to the farm’s CSA members, local restaurants, and Community Food Share (a Boulder County food bank).
