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".
Read or watch our interview before the show! Learn more about Izaak and his upcoming shows on his website, and discover his music on Spotify.
Taylor Inman Zooms in with musician Izaak Opatz. They talk touring, going back to school for a master's in environmental journalism, getting inspiration from a couple of Johns, dreaming of writing songs about friendship, and a cosmic country alien band. Izaak will play on the Daily Inter Lake press floor on April 5th, 2024. Tickets to the show

The singer-songwriter stays booked and busy, but he’s also been working on a new album featuring piano, an instrument he’s grown to appreciate over the last few years. Murray talks about this, family, inspiration and production with host Taylor Inman ahead of his Press Play performance at the Daily Inter Lake on March 1.
