Interview: Gregory Alan Isakov
Great singer/songwriter from Boulder, Colo. I watched him perform here in Fort Collins and then interviewed him to advance his gig in Portland, Maine for Portland Press Herald. He’s toured with Ani DiFranco and Brandi Carlile duets with him on his latest album.
Gregory Alan Isakov looked like he could have been riding the rails during the Great Depression alongside Woody Guthrie. The 29-year-old wore a short-brimmed cap, a navy blue workman’s shirt, brown pants and shabby leather shoes. The small, handsome young man had dark stubble on his face.
“This song makes me happy,” Isakov said with a boyish grin to the rapt audience of about 300. “Sad songs make me happy.”
