Izaak Opatz (solo)

U.S. folk/prog-country singer-songwriter Izaak Opatz stops by Space Academy (Christchurch) to share his narrative, confessional, humor-inflected brand of American country while on a self-supported bike trip throughout Aotearoa.

Josh Dominikovich will open.

Since 2018, Opatz has released three albums with Mama Bird Recording Co., including Hot & Heavy-Handed, a compilation of country covers. He's shared stages with Jonny Fritz, Jackson Browne, and Langhorne Slim, and won praise from RollingStone.com, who called him one of a kind, an eccentric singer-songwriter whom you not only connect with, but root for as he tries in vain to sort out his love life in songs he describes as “Nora Ephron Rom-Com-earnestness with a sense of humor.”
