Just a little over a month after opening for Mumford & Sons at Azura, singer-songwriter Gregory Alan Isakov brought his beautifully sad songs to the Midland for a headlining set. He brought Canadian folk music duo Ocie Elliott along as openers, and our photographer Zoe Strohm was there to capture it all.
