STARKVILLE, Miss.—The ݮƵRiley Center for Education and Performing Arts in Meridian is thrilled to announce two additional shows for the 2026 season: acclaimed singer-songwriter Gregory Alan Isakov on Thursday, Jan.15, and pop icon Sheena Easton on Thursday, Feb. 19.
Born in Johannesburg, South Africa, and now based in Colorado, Isakov has become a standout voice in the indie-folk world. His six studio albums include “Evening Machines,” which earned a Grammy nomination for Best Folk Album and his latest release “Appaloosa Bones.” Known for his poetic lyrics and haunting vocals, Isakov has built a devoted international following and tours widely with his band.
Easton of Scotland is a two-time Grammy Award winner who rose to fame with hits such as “Morning Train (Nine to Five),” “For Your Eyes Only,” and “Strut.” With more than 20 million records sold and gold and platinum albums worldwide, she remains a top concert attraction. Beyond her chart-topping success, Easton has starred on Broadway in Man of La Mancha and Grease, appeared in film and television, and continues to captivate audiences in Las Vegas and international venues.
“This fall and winter season has been such a success, and we’re delighted to add these two shows that will appeal to a wide range of audiences,” said Morgan Dudley, director of the ݮƵRiley Center. “Both Gregory Alan Isakov and Sheena Easton promise unforgettable performances in the unique setting of our historic theater.”
