IZAAK OPATZ - FULL CONCERT

On Friday, April 5th, Izaak Opatz joined us for a lunchtime show on our press floor. From tales of borrowing toiletries to the bewildering dating scene, Izaak's show weaved us from the good and bad of LA to memories of Radar Ridge in East Glacier. ‍ Put best by himself, Izaak's music is "an ungulate in life’s winter pasture, chewing on and metabolizing disappointment, heartbreak, and the other tough stuff into enjoyable musical carbohydrates". He uses "wry humor, thoughtful simile, and close observation - a therapeutic process of narrativizing his own life that, almost as a byproduct, turns out savory nuggets of literate, confessional pop".
