SOLD OUT: Gregory Alan Isakov with Laura Gibson

$1 from each ticket sold for this show will support Sweet Relief Musicians Fund.

Sweet Relief Musicians Fund is a non-profit that provides financial assistance to all types of career musicians who are struggling to make ends meet while facing illness, disability, or age-related problems.

Many musicians have day jobs to make ends meet.

However, few artists maintain the lifestyle kept by Gregory Alan Isakov.

The Colorado-based indie-folk artist is a full-time farmer who sells vegetable seeds and grows various market crops on his three-acre farm, while also tending to a thriving musical career.

“I switch gears a lot,” he says. “I wake up really early in the growing season, and then in the winters, I’m up all night. I’m constantly moving back and forth.”

Isakov had an easier time balancing his two passions while making his fourth full-length studio album, Evening Machines.

In between farm duties, the multi-instrumentalist wrote and recorded in a studio housed in a barn on his property.

Like the farm, this studio has a communal atmosphere, filled with instruments and gear stored there by musician friends—gear Isakov always leaves on, just in case inspiration strikes.
