About Gregory Alan Isakov


Singer/songwriter Gregory Alan Isakov was born in born in Johannesburg, South Africa and raised in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, where he began touring with a band at the age sixteen before eventually relocating to Colorado to hone his chops as a solo artist. Influenced by the rural, blue collar lyricism of artists like Bruce Springsteen, Kelly Joe Phelps and Leonard Cohen, it wasn't long before Isakov's own blend of dusty folk and moody Americana began turning heads. He released his debut album, Rust Colored Stones, in 2003, followed by Songs for October (2005), That Sea, the Gambler (2007) and The Empty Northern Hemisphere (2009), the latter of which spawned the single "If I Go, I'm Goin", which appeared in the fourth season of the popular Showtime series Californication. ~ James Christopher Monger, Rovi
