Gregory Alan Isakov (born 19 October 1979 in Johannesburg, South Africa) is a Grammy‑nominated singer‑songwriter and musician whose introspective indie‑folk music has garnered critical acclaim and international audiences. He moved to the United States with his family as a child, grew up in Philadelphia, and later established his musical career while living in Boulder, Colorado, where he also runs a small farm alongside his artistic work. Isakov’s sound blends indie folk, contemporary folk and Americana, featuring acoustic guitar, banjo and rich lyrical storytelling. He’s released multiple albums — including That Sea, The Gambler (2007), This Empty Northern Hemisphere (2009), The Weatherman (2013), the Grammy‑nominated Evening Machines (2018), and Appaloosa Bones (2023) — and is known for songs such as Big Black Car, The Stable Song and San Luis.
