Izaak is a talented young singer/songwriter hailing from Montana. We talk about Warren Zevon, ghosts in the amplifiers, the pros and cons of an itinerant lifestyle, and making things out of leather. Izaak has an interesting backstory: born and raised in Montana, for nearly 10 years he spent 5 months of extended summers working on trail crews in the back country of Glacier National Park, and the remaining months in various places as he wandered his musical path. We discuss how this lifestyle influenced the songwriting on his excellent recent album “Mariachi Static”.
