Gregory Alan Isakov

Dusty, cinematic folk that feels like a long drive through the high plains. Intimate vocals and expansive arrangements for quiet nights and open roads.

Intro

Born in South Africa and raised in Philadelphia, Colorado-based musician Gregory Alan Isakov crafts traditional folk music infused with indie sensibilities. Since immigrating to the United States in 1986, he has released seven albums, including his 2023 record, Appaloosa Bones.
