Originally from Johannesburg, South Africa, Gregory Alan Isakov has developed the kind of songcraft that leads to the deepest lyrical masterpieces. With hints of his influences, Leonard Cohen and Iron and Wine, Gregory Alan Isakov has developed a strong and subtle voice of his own. Gregory has shared the stage with such artists as Calexico, Mumford & Sons, Fiona Apple, DeVotchka, and Brandi Carlile. He has performed throughout the United States and Europe and appeared at South By Southwest, Telluride Bluegrass Festival and Rocky Mountain Folks Fest. “It’s impossible to know Isakov and not want to shout his name from the mountaintops," says the Denver Post (which knows about mountaintops). 'This Empty Northern Hemisphere' is an artistic masterwork."
