Video: Gregory Alan Isakov Debuts Video for 'Mistakes'

Grammy-nominated singer, songwriter and musician Gregory Alan Isakov has released a new video for his song “Mistakes." Directed by Joe Connor (Harry Styles, Coldplay), the video offers a cinematic journey through the breathtaking, idyllic coasts of Ireland. 

Of the video, Connor shares, “Gregory Alan Isakov’s voice is transportive. Like a sound heard in a dream, it teleports you to far-off places and distant worlds. I wanted to plunge the viewer into the icy waters and perilous coastline of Donegal, Ireland—a wild and ancient land. The waves here tower beyond 50 feet, surfed by only the bravest inhabitants of this ancient place. I teamed up with Clem McInerney, one of Ireland’s best surf cinematographers, and we spent two beautiful, windswept days filming Ryan Watts as he tackled the challenging and tumultuous sea. The result is a film that captures the rare, haunting beauty of this precious song.”

“Mistakes” is from Isakov’s most recent album, Appaloosa Bones, which was released to widespread acclaim. The Associated Press praised, “His new songs are relentlessly majestic, a kind of musical morphine,” while Paste declared, “he’s continuing to make expertly-tooled music…it’s reliably beautiful and starkly self-possessed throughout.”

Surrounding his two sold-out shows at Colorado’s Red Rocks Amphitheatre, Isakov has just announced a summer headline tour including stops at Minneapolis’ Surly Brewing Festival Field, Cleveland’s Jacobs Pavilion, Boise’s Morrison Center, Berkeley’s Greek Theatre, San Diego’s Cal Coast Credit Union Open Air Theatre, Kansas City’s Midland Theatre, Portland’s Edgefield, St. Louis’ The Pageant, the Santa Barbara Bowl and more. See below for complete tour itinerary.

Tickets for these dates will go on-sale tomorrow, February 14 at 10:00am local time. (Note: The venue for the Salt Lake City show will be announced in April. Tickets for Jacksonville, Oregon, go on sale 2/28 at 10:00am, PST).  Full details can be found at www.gregoryalanisakov.com/tour.

$1 from the sale of each ticket will be donated to Corner To Corner, in loving memory of our friend Paul Roper. Corner to Corner is a Nashville-based community-led nonprofit that helps underestimated neighbors start and grow their own businesses.

In addition to the summer dates, Isakov will embark on a special tour next month, where he will perform with full symphony orchestras in each city. The tour will feature stops at Nashville’s Schermerhorn Symphony Center, Chicago’s Auditorium Theatre, Asheville’s Thomas Wolfe Auditorium, Charleston’s Gaillard Center, Atlanta’s Atlanta Symphony Hall (two nights), Los Angeles’ Walt Disney Concert Hall, and Denver’s Boettcher Concert Hall (three nights) among others. The orchestral versions of Isakov’s songs were arranged by Tom Hagerman (DeVotchKa) and Jay Clifford (Jump Little Children) and the performances will be conducted by two renowned international conductors: Christopher Dragon (Nashville, Chicago, Greensboro, Asheville, Atlanta, Los Angeles) and Morihiko Nakahara (Charleston & Tysons).

Born in Johannesburg, South Africa and raised in Philadelphia, Isakov now calls Colorado home. When he isn’t on the road, he spends much of his time writing and recording songs in his barn studio, as well as running Starling Farm (his farm in Boulder County), which provides produce to the farm’s CSA members, local restaurants, and Community Food Share (a Boulder County food bank).

Beloved by his devoted community of fans and critics alike, Isakov has garnered over 1 billion streams to date and averages 6.8 million monthly Spotify listeners. Additionally, Isakov collaborated on recently released songs with Noah Kahan, Shovels & Rope, and Jeremiah Fraites (of The Lumineers).
