GREGORY ALAN ISAKOV IN CONCERT:
Folk singer-songwriter Gregory Alan Isakov has been enthralling audiences with his strong vocals and smooth acoustic tunes since the mid-'90s. His solo live performances are filled with passion and emotion, and he tells affecting stories with powerful lyrics on fan favorites like "The Stable Song" and "Big Black Car". Whether he's strumming his Gibson or performing alongside a full orchestra, Isakov commands the stage with ease and has ticket buyers coming out in droves to his exciting live shows.
BACKGROUND SNAPSHOT:
Born in Johannesburg and raised in Pennsylvania, Gregory Alan Isakov got his start at age 16 touring with a local band. While in college at Naropa University, Isakov began penning songs about his travels and worldly experiences and collaborated with other musicians on campus. His acoustic-driven music and narrative lyrics truly took shape when he recorded and released his 2003 debut Rust Colored Stones, an earthy album that showcased his songwriting talents and soothing vocals. He’s spent time on the road touring the US, Canada, and Europe with his band and has gained a devoted following along the way. Since then Isakov has released three more acclaimed albums including 2013’s Weatherman, which peaked at No. 1 on the Top Heatseekers Albums chart and earned major critical praise. With his solid collection of folk ballads, the humble singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist creates an intimate experience for concertgoers every time he takes the stage.
This was my first show at the Fox Theater and I couldn’t have picked a more perfect show. The venue is gorgeous! GAI exceeded all my expectations. He performed every single one of my favorites… and there are many. My favorite part was the encore where the entire band jammed together in a little huddle. The acoustics, the lights, the music… it was a night of bliss. Opener Damian Jurado was awesome too!
My first time seeing Isakov. It was more than I could have hoped for. His voice was beautiful, staging was low key and full of the vibes his music makes. Set list was amazing! The Fall, one of my new favorites, echoed through the fox with a resonating boom that landed all of the intensity of the track in a wonderfully demonstrative way. Gorgeous All of it, just gorgeous!
So so so good! Such great songs, lyrics, singing, instruments, musicians! Love this band!
An elevated music experience, phenomenal artists! Terrific venue in Oakland I truly felt blessed to be there amongst wonderful people
The last time we saw Gregory Alan Isaac Isakov was at the Masonic Hall in San Francisco. The sound there was so bad we left the concert with a really bad feeling about what we just experienced. We decided to see Isakov again in the Fox theater and WOW ... we were blown away! We could hear every single lyric that Alan sang, so clearly, as if we were listening to a recorded song. The audio system and the staff at the Fox are incredible. We will be back. We really enjoyed this concert ...
I never miss an opportunity to see Gregory Alan Isakov, because he never disappoints. The show at the Fox Theater (Oakland, CA) March 9th was one of the best shows of his that I’ve ever seen. Plus, the venue is gorgeous.
First time seeing GAI live, I was blown away. His voice is like butter, I could have sat and listened to him for hours and hours. The Sound at Del Mar was great, only thing I would change is to make it very clear that GA means no seating at all. We were fortunate to get a good spot with a bar table to lean on but saw 50+ people ask the event worker "Where can we sit with GA?"to be told it's standing room only. Other than that, great venue and amazing artist!
Very nice venue and extremely talented musicians. For me the sound quality is of primary importance for a show. Except for a couple of songs when they were rocking out, it was excellent. On these songs the level was pushed way up. Too much drum and base created a mushy distorted wall of sound! I especially liked the encore set where they shared a single surround mike very effectively. Not common in these types of shows.
Amazing! Great performance by a great band. Interludes connected songs in an ethereal way and the whole set was solid. Great musicians, great songs, great sound at venue. Great all around experience.
Sound is fantastic. General admission is tough to find a good view. The stage should be higher or the floor sloped.
Wonderful show. The only problem is it wasn’t long enough. Love the music so much.
Gregory Alan Isakov was really great to see play live. His band was also fantastic. There was a great mix of older and newer songs. Watching talented musicians playing great music while having fun doing it was a great experience.
Don’t ever miss a chance to see Gregory Alan Isakov Live. Unreal!
This was my second time seeing GAI (first in 2016), and I was quite emotional the entire night as his songs were so moving. I also enjoyed the synergy between GAI and his band, especially during their harmonies. A+++ show. Can't wait to see him again.
This show was better than expected! The lights were great, the Milk Carton Kids were really amazing, and Gregory Alan Isakov put on such a great performance. The fact that his band consists of people he’s known for a decade or more made it even more of a fun show because it’s just a group of friends making beautiful music and clearly loving it! 10/10 would go again.
I saw Gregory with the milk carton kids. excellent show.
His ability as a lyricist, composer, and singer is inspirational. He is my favorite artist bar none. His concert and fellow musicians were outstanding g. Thank you so much!
Seeing Gregory and the band perform live is an experience anyone who loves folk music needs to experience once in their life
Loved the venue and especially loved Gregory Alan Isakov and his musicians. Absolutely epic. The lighting and sound people were amazing too. Everything was perfect.
GAI is very generous as a performer and the audience was the most engaged and polite of the many I have seen in 20 years. Thank you so much. The musicianship was wonderful but the full band overwhelmed the venue and the songs themselves. The sound was also muddy in the first half but maybe that was just the balcony. So happy that there is seating in a balcony, though. Maybe we will cross paths with him someday at Gold Hill.
