Gregory Alan Isakov’s legion of fans first fell in love with the Johannesburg-born balladeer’s spare, soul-stirring songwriting. In this special evening accompanied by the National Symphony Orchestra, songs like “Miles to Go,” “Liars,” “Big Black Car,” and “Amsterdam” expand into sweeping soundscapes—lush, cinematic, and deeply intimate. Isakov’s most recent album, Appaloosa Bones, showcases his gift for transforming simple, poetic verses into expansive musical moments. When he isn’t touring, Isakov runs a farm in his hometown of Boulder, CO, which provides produce to CSA members, restaurants, and a local food bank.

An Intimate Evening with Gregory Alan Isakov

Washington Center Main Stage

GRAMMY-nominated musician Gregory Alan Isakov brings his signature rooted, earthy folk to the Oregon Symphony for two transcendent evenings of music.

Gregory Alan Isakov knows how to write a tune full of space and longing, sprawling landscapes and intangible, quiet loss. And while slinging banjo-infused folk songs might seem like a humble enterprise, his success is anything but. Possessing one of the most evocative voices in the folk music world, Isakov has garnered over 1 billion streams. He’s no stranger to orchestral collaboration; he once made a record with the Colorado Symphony and in 2025 performed with the Los Angeles Philharmonic, a show the LA Times described as “a singular experience.”  Now the Grammy-nominated folk star pairs his “relentlessly majestic” (Associated Press) songs from five studio albums with the full power of the Hollywood Bowl Orchestra.
