Colorado’s Gregory Alan Isakov has been nominated for a 2020 Grammy Award for Best Folk Album. Evening Machines is Isakov’s late-2018 album that evokes the Colorado landscapes with songs such as “San Luis”, “Southern Star”, and “Dark, Dark, Dark,” among others.
The Boulder farmer and musician is having quite a year – including a Red Rocks show this summer and a memorable hometown eTown show, too. He will be performing at The Stanley Hotel on Friday, December 13. That show is sold out.
