Background notes
Archive material and source history
Gregory Alan Isakov was born in Johannesburg, South Africa, and moved to Boulder, Colorado when he was ten. He studied music theory and composition at the University of Colorado, but it was a backpacking trip in his early twenties that made him focus on songwriting. His first album, 'Rust Colored Stones,' came out in 2003.
He released 'This Empty Northern Hemisphere' in 2009, 'The Weatherman' in 2013, and 'Evening Machines' in 2018. Songs like 'Big Black Car' and 'San Luis' have a quiet, storytelling quality that feels personal rather than dramatic. He had pneumonia in 2007, which he recovered from and kept making music.
Isakov's writing often touches on love, loss, and searching, but without grand statements. There's a grounded quality to how he handles those themes, heard in tracks like 'If I Go, I'm Going' or 'The Stable Song.' He still performs live, usually with a band, though the catalog copy doesn't list specific members.
