Folk singer-songwriter Gregory Alan Isakov announces gig in The Academy

Born in Johannesburg, horticulturist-turned-musician Gregory Alan Isakov has been described as “strong, subtle…a lyrical genius” for his unique style. After emigrating to the US as a child, Isakov began touring at the age of 16. His travels have greatly influenced his music, with the songwriter being hailed by The Washington Post as “an eloquent lyricist who delivers soul-searching ruminations filled with cosmic pondering, nomadic wisdom and plenty of earthy metaphors.”

Isakov has toured the world and currently has four albums under his belt. Isakov’s last released in 2016, was in collaboration with the Colorado Symphony.

The gig will be 18+ and doors open at 7pm. Tickets are €20 and go on sale Friday 8 th June at 9am from Ticketmaster.
