Gregory Alan Isakov
Grammy-nominated indie-rock and folk artist Gregory Alan Isakov brings his cinematic sound and poetic lyricism to Live on the Green for a summer show to remember.
With six celebrated studio albums, sweeping international tours with his band, and past performances alongside national symphony orchestras, he’s built a devoted following drawn to his stirring, atmospheric live concerts.
In between his touring shows with Mumford & Sons, he’s heading to Bentonville to headline the Momentary’s outdoor stage with songs from Appaloosa Bones, his latest acclaimed release. Opening the show is acclaimed local folk duo Smokey and the Mirror.
See you there.
This concert is presented as part of the Momentary’s Live on the Green Concert Series on the Coca-Cola Stage.
This is an outdoor event. Come prepared with your hat, boots, raincoat, or poncho! Umbrellas are not permitted.

ABOUT THE ARTISTS
Gregory Alan Isakov
Born in Johannesburg, South Africa, and now calling Colorado home, horticulturist/musician Gregory Alan Isakov has cast an impressive presence on the indie-rock and folk worlds with his six full-length studio albums: That Sea, The Gambler; This Empty Northern Hemisphere; The Weatherman; Gregory Alan Isakov with the Colorado Symphony; Evening Machines (nominated for a Grammy award for Best Folk Album); and Appaloosa Bones. Isakov tours internationally with his band and has performed with several national symphony orchestras across the United States.
Isakov’s new record, Appaloosa Bones, was released via Dualtone/Suitcase Town Music. Of the album, MOJO states, “Prime Isakov: his velvet baritone glides over elegant and shimmering Wild West mirages.” The Associated Press proclaims, “He has that magical ability to convey both urgency and grandeur at the same time…Simple. Straightforward. Utterly evocative.” And No Depression declares, “this is Isakov’s genius. He turns a short poem into a magnificent piece of music that can captivate for hours.”
When he is not on the road, he runs Starling Farm (a small farm in Boulder County), which provides produce to CSA members, restaurants, and Community Food Share (a local food bank).
Smokey and the Mirror
Smokey & The Mirror is husband and wife duo Bryan and Bernice Hembree. Based out of Fayetteville, Arkansas, Smokey & The Mirror have toured nationally/internationally over the past decade, including a touring collaboration and album with Denmark’s The Sentimentals. The band has also supported tours/concerts for The Wood Brothers, I’m With Her, Elephant Revival, John Fullbright, and more.
They play most often as a duo, but also regularly collaborate with luthier/musician Bayard Blain (3 Penny Acre/Bayard Guitars), and drummer/songwriter Ryan Pickop (Nature & Madness). Whatever the configuration, the interplay of their two unique voices coupled with their provoking and engaging songs form the foundation of Smokey & The Mirror.
The Hembrees also work tirelessly on many musical and creative pursuits. They are committed to others’ music as much as their own. They have found that the most satisfying path to longevity in music is to put others’ art in the spotlight or to inspire others to find their voice. They believe that the future of music is not winning the “me first” battle but rather building community. They are founders and co-creators of the Folk School of Fayetteville, the Fayetteville Roots Festival (Arkansas), and have partnered with numerous music and community organizations over the past fifteen years to help foster a vibrant music ecosystem in Northwest Arkansas.
