Maybe you can sing "Hey Jealousy" by the Gin Blossoms. You would sound awesome! (Evelyn's mom) 😄

Awesome cover. Can you do Of Monsters and Men cover? Would be awesome

[@KevinTempelx]

You're asking for Of Monsters and Men while watching a Gregory Alan Isakov cover? I feel like I'm back in 2012!

Hi Gregory I came across one of your Songs on TH-cam and I absolutely loved it. You've got an amazing voice! I am a video editor and How about teaming up for some editing magic? If you're interested, I'd be happy to do a free test and show you my editing skills in a trendy style. Let me know if you're up for it!
