      Absolutely! Steve Varney (overall wizard), Jeb Bows (violin), Max Barcelow (drums and other odd box-shaped things), John Paul Grigsby (bass), and Danny Black (keyboard, old pal joining them on this tour) totally help make Greg's sound the amazing thing it is.

    Listening since 2008. Saw him this year for the first time. Cried all night. Wounds were healed for me. The best folk artist of a generation and then some. The band is also unbelievably talented. Such incredible masterful musicians of their respective instruments.

  • @katiemendham338

    One thing that endears GAI to me is how I can listen to each album straight through as a single work and not skip a single song. He has re-taught me to listen to my favorite artists’ work as a whole.

  • @lukeheisler7402

    Saw him in Asheville at the beginning of October. It was absolutely soul-touching. I got some drinks out at a gin bar after the show with the friends I went with, and an hour and a half later he and the band walked in! Such a kind and gracious dude. We were on our way out, but of course we wanted to thank them for the show and their music’s impact on us. He was so humble and welcoming, offered me a photo, and invited us to chat with he and the band for a bit. His banjo/keys guy, Steve Varney, who I’m also a huge fan of, talked with me for like 20 minutes about some nerdy instrument stuff.

    Became a fan of Gregory this year and I saw him live twice back in August it was truly magical and incredible, he sounds so amazingly live almost like your hearing the studio versions. He also seems such like down to earth person with so much strong passion he has towards his music and his farm just a genuine human.

    I had the pleasure of seeing Gregory Alan Isakov and his band live a few weeks ago. If you have the chance, definitely go see him! It was a magical performance, a sold out crowd swaying and singing along to his songs. It was the best show I've ever been to. I hope I can see them live again someday! So, so, soooo much talent.
