   About gregory alan isakov
"Born in South Africa and raised in Philadelphia, Gregory Alan Isakov makes quietly lush, deeply vibrant music more rooted in the starry night sky—like the one on the cover of his latest LP—than any terrestrial locale." -Paste Magazine ************************************************************************* "Gregory Alan Isakov...whose music is all tones of sepia and creeping warmth. He’s recommended for folks who appreciate warmly intelligent, rich songwriting like Jeffrey Foucault or Josh Ritter. Now living in Colorado, we are proud to call him an adopted native son. I love the sly sincerity in his voice, like he knows a secret that’s making him smile." -I Am Fuel/Friends ************************************************************************* "This Empty Northern Hemisphere—has quickly become one of my favorite singer-songwriter albums of the year. With lush, warm arrangements that create images of star-strewn skies and wave-rocked boats adrift at sea, the album spotlights Isakov's incredible artistic restraint and intuition." -About.com ************************************************************************* "Gregory Alan Isakov's new record, This Empty Northern Hemisphere, is the talk of the town this week, and for damn good reason. We've had it for a while now, and let's just say, three records in, he's delivered his finest work to date. And that's saying a lot, because his other releases were exemplary. Brandi Carlile guests on this one." -Westword ************************************************************************* "Colorado loves traditionalists, and it's Gregory Alan Isakov's unquestionable purity that's elevated him above the infinite army of singer-songwriters. Rather than another would-be Jeff Buckley or Will Oldham, Isakov uses 'That Sea, The Gambler' to lay bare an elegant simplicity that's caked in dust and an utter lack of pretension. Unadulterated, loosely woven folk music will always strike a twang in Denver's soul, and 'That Sea' is one of the best this area's seen in ages." -The A.V. Club ************************************************************************* "Gregory Alan Isakov proudly calls himself a folk artist, and while that's broadly accurate, it's also a tad limiting. Because while some music fans might not consider themselves fans of "folk," they still bow at the alters of Jeff Tweedy, Andrew Bird and Jolie Holland. And now you can add Isakov to that list."- Denver Post ************************************************************************* "...his music coasts on the same subtle strength and gravity that Bruce Springsteen built 'Nebraska' on. Hints of everyone from Steve Earle to Gillian Welch also creep into Isakov's twangy, shaded folk, but it's his absolute ease-the man sounds like he's swimming through his own songs-that makes his 'That Sea, The Gambler' such a stunning disc." -Westword

I would like to ask you to share an idea with your friends by accepting this comment.

There's a link to a free download of my new song "At Christmastime" here:

Great show last night in Austin! Blew me away in person. Missed 'Light Year' and 'Morning Lady' but didn't feel like yelling out requests you couldn't hear! :) Hope to see you back this way again!

Gregory - I've been following you for awhile. I'm stoked that things are really taking off for you now. I tried to see you at Bluebird a couple of weeks ago but it was sold out!! I won't make that mistake again. Looking forward to seeing you at the Boulder Theatre.

Peace.

Hey Gregory, thanks for coming back to New Orleans! The set was absolutely magical, and I am already in love with the new album, "This Empty Northern Hemisphere"! I look forward to your new EP in the spring, and to the next time you come back to NOLA! All the best!
