Gregory Alan Isakov is a South African-born, American singer-songwriter known for his introspective folk music that radiates emotional resonance and captures the vast landscapes of the American west. Born on October 19, 1979, Isakov immigrated to the United States with his family during his childhood and was brought up in Philadelphia. Shaped by his peripatetic lifestyle and a profound connection to nature fostered by his time on his three-acre farm in Colorado, Isakov's music is characterized by his rich, hushed vocal delivery and eloquent lyricism.

With a career that spans over a decade, Isakov has become a pillar in the indie folk scene, often blending indie and folk with a subtle hint of country. His discography includes critically acclaimed albums such as "That Sea, The Gambler" (2007), "This Empty Northern Hemisphere" (2009), and "The Weatherman" (2013). His 2016 collaboration "Gregory Alan Isakov with the Colorado Symphony" showcases his ability to transcend the traditional boundaries of folk, embedding his music with lush, orchestral arrangements. His most recent studio album, "Evening Machines" (2018), garnered a Grammy nomination for Best Folk Album, cementing his status in the American roots music tradition. Isakov's reflective storytelling and ethereal soundscapes continue to mesmerize audiences around the world.
