Gregory Alan Isakov: Ann Arbor Summer Festival
This Johannesburg-bred, Colorado-based singer-songwriter is known for plaintive, delicately arranged original songs with captivating poetic lyrics. He plays a brand of rootsy indie rock that's somewhere between the sound of Leonard Cohen and Iron & Wine. Paste Magazine calls the result “quietly lush, deeply vibrant music more rooted in the starry night sky … than any terrestrial locale.” Opening act is Mon Rovîa, a young, Tennessee-based, Liberian-born singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist who describes himself as a “one-man Afro-Appalachian folk production.” 8 p.m., Hill Auditorium. Tickets $35–$107 in advance at tickets.a2sf.org and (if available) at the door. (734) 764–2538.
