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 five full-length studio albums: That Sea, The Gambler; This Empty Northern Hemisphere; The Weatherman; Gregory Alan Isakov with the Colorado Symphony; and Evening Machines (nominated for a Grammy award
for Best Folk Album). Isakov tours internationally with his band, and has performed with several national symphony orchestras across the United States. Isakov recently announced a new record, Appaloosa Bones, which will be released on August 18th, 2023 (via Dualtone/Suitcase Town Music). The highly anticipated Appaloosa Bones is Isakov’s first record in nearly five years. “The Fall” (out now) is the first single from Appaloosa Bones and is described by Atwood Magazine as “a hauntingly beautiful song of life’s trapeze act.” When he is not on the road, Isakov runs a small farm in Boulder County, which provides produce to CSA members, restaurants, and Community Food Share (a local food bank).
Special Guest: Shovels & Rope
Husband and wife duo Shovels & Rope possess an undeniable chemistry that they bring to the stage with them every time they perform. Their stylish brand of alt-country incorporates elements of rock, folk, and even punk, and their eclectic live shows bring it all to life as they belt out songs like “Birmingham” and “The Devil Is All Around” in perfect harmony. Equal parts anthemic and heart-rending, Shovel & Rope’s passionate performances never fail to get ticket buyers grooving on the duo’s must-see tours.
Pre-concert music: The Brothers Reed
Begins at 6:00 PM on the Enfield Stage in the Britt Performance Garden
