      @@spacesmuggling Been listening since Stable Song, probably like 15 years ago or so.
      So frustrated when people tell me there's no good music anymore and I show them artists like Gregory Alan Isakov and they say "yeah, but he's not mainstream".
      Who gives a crap, he's great....so is Iron and Wine, Jason Isbell, Josh Ritter, Andrew Bird, Colin Meloy, etc.

    Had the chance to talk to Gregory after he opened for the Lumineers in Paris in early 2022. It couldn't have been a nicer dude. Told him I came just to see him, he was genuinely touched. "We're small potatoes" he said. Glad to see that he's becoming a bigger one. Saw him again when he headlined in Paris a year ago and will see him again in London next week.

      If only I had more money in the period I'd do the same... He's one of the few I can listen straight along every songs. A poet, an evocative artist. I can strongly perceive the intentions that vibrates of positivity and life. This last album live must be a love bomb. Maybe next time he'll be coming to Europe (possibly in Italy) ❤

      Incroyable, j'étais à ces deux mêmes concerts. Je l'ai découvert au concert de The Lumineers et lorsque j'ai vu qu'il revenait au Trabendo qq mois plus tard, j'ai sauté sur l'occasion. J'ai aussi eu la chance de pouvoir faire une photo avec lui à la fin du concert et échanger qq mots mais mon anglais m'a fait défaut et très impressionnée, j'ai bien été incapable de dire grand chose.

      @@virginiegaillard5754 Haha marrant. J'ai regretté de ne pas être resté après le concert du Trabendo pour le revoir. Mais je devait rentrer pour retrouver ma femme et notre bébé qui venait tout juste de naître. Je lui avait d'ailleurs dit que je n'étais pas sûre de pourvoir venir quand il m'avait dit qu'il reviendrait à Paris début Novembre ;)

    So so glad to have had the chance to see him live this year. One of my favorite things was how much recognition and "spotlight time" each of the musicians got-they were all absolutely astounding to watch and listen to.
