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.

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 second time seeing Gregory Alan Isakov and both times were incredible. He puts on an unbeatable show and I love to see how much the band members actually enjoy playing together. I'm seeing him again in January and am counting down the days! He does a great job of mixing up songs from all of his albums and doesn't play the exact same show twice.
Having seen Gregory Allan Isakov eight times, this was perhaps his best performance yet. The hauntingly beautiful violin work and standup bass brought new depth to the studio recordings and made for a riveting performance. The venue at Thompson's Point in Portland, Maine, is an incredible spot (despite the mediocre beverage menu -- no red wine, no Bissell Bros IPA?!). A cool, dry August evening with abundant food trucks, the sun on the water, and the inaudible freeway in the distance made for a welcome juxtaposition of city meets serenity. A beautiful performance on a beautiful evening at a beautiful venue. 10/10!
gai ...... he 's a gift to the soul ! been lucky enough to see him a few times now , with a symphony earlier this yr which was simply magic , if you get the chance .... go !!!!!
The performance by Gregory Alan Isakov was amazing and he seems like a genuine, down-to-earth, and very talented artist. I absolutely love his music and believe that he is truly gifted in telling stories through his music. The ONLY downside was that I could hardly see what was going on because it was standing room only and I, unfortunately, am fairly short. I feel like there definitely could have been a better setup but I’m not sure what that would be.
Gregory is indeed an amazing musician with impeccable lyrics and soothing melodies, but I would have loved to see him! The stage lights were ridiculously low - I was unable to see which musician was playing what instrument! And one volume- LOUD . This music is too beautiful to be blasted, but blasted it was. I actually walked away with sadness that my senses were overloaded with volume and strain (to actually SEE what was going on. I crave serene human analogue not digital hyperbole.
Seeing Gregory Alan Isakov for the first time and having it be with an orchestra was truly a life changing experience. The concert has given me a greater appreciation for his music and for the musicians he performed alongside of. Truly one of my favorite concerts which was of course elevated by the lovely and helpful staff at the venue! Such a wonderful experience!
What a great experience. Gregory Alan Isakov and the Atlanta Symphony were at their best! What a great tour!
This was our third time seeing Gregory Alan Isakov in concert in Asheville and was the best yet! Adding the Asheville Symphony was AMAZING! My ONLY critique is about the quality of the venue. The staff was phenomenal, but the actual venue was a struggle. Accoustics were rough, facility falling apart - please try another venue next time!! (Harrahs - come on, put some money into renovations here! Pieces are the ceiling are literally falling off).
Gregory Izakov was amazing and the Atlanta symphony played beautifully with him and his band. It was an unforgettable evening.
3rd time seeing Greg and this time with the symphony was other worldly. Acoustics were incredible. Basically cried for 2 hours straight. Love Greg, his band, and the Atlanta Pop Symphony was incredible. You could tell they were having the best time playing Gregory’s songs.
Tough to put into words of the performance I experienced. The combination of Gregory's voice paired with the sounds of the symphony was nothing short of amazing... Beautiful venue with comfy seats, ample leg room, and great sound acoustics.
The lighting was awful. The symphony was lit (in a weird blue), but only the drummer and sometimes piano player were lit from the band. I was center orchestra, Row N, so I should have been able to see the band, but they were in shadow the entire time. It was quite distracting.
This show was the best show i’ve ever been to. hands down.
Gregory Alan Isakov with the symphony was one of the most moving, beautiful evenings of music I have ever experienced!
This concert was stunning, the lighting, the orchestra, the energy! All perfect!
Gregory Alan Isakov with the Fairfax Symphony was a once in a lifetime experience. It was so beautiful and so beautifully put together. The entire theatre got lost for two hours in Gregory’s music. Recommend 10000 percent.
This show was life changing and evoked so many deep emotions. The symphony was perfection along with Gregory and the band.
I’ve been a fan of Greg for a couple years now and to say that this experience was breathtaking would be an understatement. I attending the event with a friend and got good seats (Orchestra Right Row N) which were not too costly. My view was amazing and the whole concert felt so intimate. Seeing my favorite artist was awesome, but paired with a symphony was astonishing. Harrahs was a nice venue and not overwhelming at all. One of the best concerts I’ve been to!
The band and orchestra were beyond fantastic. The ladies room closest to the seating area was out of soap early in the night and I did find the lines for the women’s bathrooms to be extremely long. I do think the seats were wayy farther to the right of the stage than expected, which left me a little bummed out. For the price, I would have rather sat elsewhere, farther away, but more centered.
Exceptional show. Can’t say enough good things about it.
