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.
One of the best concerts I've been to. Would def recommend.
Greg is one of my favorite artists of all time. Not only are his lyrics powerful and beautifully poetic, but the sound he can achieve with his band + the orchestra are truly awesome. He seems like a genuine down to earth guy and made the space at the Fox theater seem so personal despite being large. He is a thoughtful musician who is happy to share his art with everyone and has a good time doing so with his band on stage. Despite feeling less personal than a smaller theater, the acoustics of the fox theater were unbelievalble. This must have also been due to the orchestra backing him up on most songs. Even the most familiar songs had an interesting and beautiful twist. This man is a musical genius; he continues to inspire me to travel, be myself, love life and what it has to offer, and continue my own passion as a musician. Thank you Greg + company for sharing your heart and soul with me.
This was one of the best musical experiences I have ever had. I had chills the entire night, and Gregory Alan Isakov's voice with Magic Magic orchestra in the background made me want to cry. I wish he released an album with the orchestra in the background. It was a beautiful experience.
Incredible sounds. Well-balanced between the band and the orchestra which is no small feat. The backing orchestra added depth and drama to Gregory Alan Isakov's normally mournful folk sounds. They also played a few songs sans orchestra which was fun and it was nice to hear glimpses of the simple acoustic folk that got me hooked in the first place. I'd go again tomorrow if I got the chance!
This event was absolutely beautiful. Isakov is a very talented song writer and the orchestra accompaniment left everyone in the audience in awe. The show was very low key. Isakov had to prod the audience to show some excitement. I think everyone was trying to be respectful of the orchestra.
Gregory Alan Isakov is an amazing song writer & performer. Really great show. The Madrid is one of the best venues in Kansas City.
Gregory Alan Isakov group is great; addition of the "ghost orchestra" made them even better. Highly recommend the show. One minor issue was the somewhat muffled sound of the vocals - otherwise would have been 5 stars!
Love his music and enjoyed the show, but way to loud. I thought about leaving after he started playing. It's not worth it to me having hearing damage due to a concert. I'll be listening to him on cd's in the future at my house, but you wont see me at a live show. Music was almost muffled because of the volume and not clear like he is on the cd's. Overall was disappointed with the show because of the volume issues. He needs to find another audio engineer.
Unforgettable experience!!! I wish I could do it all over again! I would highly recommend GAI if you have never seen him or listened to his music.
Gregory Alan Isakov put on a great show with a surprise appearance by Mandolin Orange. A wonderful who by a great artist.
Great show, Band was perfect .Everything about this show was Great, He did songs with the symphony,He did songs without the symphony,He did songs with the opening act.This show was Great.Glad I went I love Gregory Alan's Voice. Amazing Show.If you can get tickets GO!!!
The ground has certainly found a new voice with the orchestra - though we didn't get the full instrumentals of the concert hall shows, the small club-feel make a huge sound feel intimate and raw. It was absolutely gorgeous.
Gregory and company put on the best live performance I've ever experienced. The intimate setting, vibe, and stellar talent brought me to tears. I'll never forget the show.
Gregory Alan Isakov is a great song writer and performer, but his music along with the orchestra is fantastic. The Maine Youth Rock Orchestra was certainly up to the task performing with the band. Sound wasd just right for such a powerful performance. Would see him again tomorrow if he is back in town!
I have long followed Isakov's music. When I discovered he was playing with the Atlanta Symphony, I was floored and had to go. His performance was extravagant. I will cherish his concert in my memories for a long time to come.
Absolutely amazing. Excellent additional of the ASO
With the ASO backing him up, Gregory Alan Isakov gave the most beautiful performance I've ever seen in my life. Overwhelming and powerful
Seriously incredible. Greg and band are brilliant performers, super talented musicians, and humble guys. The ASO really added something remarkable to the songs I already love. Couldn't have had a better time!
The most amazing music ever. Gregory's vocals are amazing and the rest of the band exceptional, especially the violinist . The band had perfect chemistry.
We love Port City Music Hall! Acoustics are great! Gregory and his band were amazing!
