Gregory Alan Isakov With The Atlanta Pops Orchestra
CL RECOMMENDS
CRITIC’S PICK
Sun./Mon., March 23 and 24
Gregory Alan Isakov, Atlanta Symphony—Emotionally vibrant singer/songwriter Isakov once played Eddie’s Attic (in 2013) but now returns to this substantially larger venue with the Atlanta Pops Orchestra backing him, speaking to his steady rise in popularity. The combination is nothing new for the sweeping, dulcet voiced crooner;his 2017 live show with the Colorado Symphony was a major commercial hit and his soft yet atmospheric widescreen songs lend themselves to a more symphonic approach. This two-night stand has already sold out, which speaks to Isakov’s fame without a big hit or video. —Hal Horowitz
From the venue:
Join Gregory Alan Isakov and the Atlanta Pops Orchestra at Atlanta Symphony Hall on March 23 and March 24 for an incredible night of folk music, conducted by Christopher Dragon.
Born in Johannesburg, South Africa, and now calling Colorado home, horticulturist/musician Gregory Alan Isakov has cast an impressive presence on the indie-rock and folk worlds with his six full-length studio albums: That Sea, The Gambler; This Empty Northern Hemisphere; The Weatherman; Gregory Alan Isakov with the Colorado Symphony; Evening Machines (nominated for a Grammy award for Best Folk Album), and Appaloosa Bones. Isakov tours internationally with his band, and has performed with several national symphony orchestras across the United States.
Isakov’s new record, Appaloosa Bones, was released via Dualtone/Suitcase Town Music. Of the album, MOJO states, “Prime Isakov: his velvet baritone glides over elegant and shimmering Wild West mirages.” The Associated Press proclaims, “He has that magical ability to convey both urgency and grandeur at the same time…Simple. Straightforward. Utterly evocative.” And No Depression declares, “this is Isakov’s genius. He turns a short poem into a magnificent piece of music that can captivate for hours.”
When he is not on the road, he runs Starling Farm (a small farm in Boulder County), which provides produce to CSA members, restaurants, and Community Food Share (a local food bank).
