Gregory Ackerman
We’ve known Gregory since the release of his album And Friends back in 2018. Even while living in LA, he kept coming back to the Netherlands for shows and promo, building something real along the way. Touring with Judy Blank, connecting with our friend Gildor (who later visited him in LA), and always staying true to the people around him. Over the years, we’ve been lucky to be involved in his latest EPs; and now, full circle, he’s made the move to Amsterdam. working towards an album to be released via Polymoon. Having Gregory at Moon Music Studios, recording some incredible songs, just feels like a natural step in his journey. We couldn’t be more excited to host this moment. Stay tuned.
Gregory Ackerman is a songwriter and multi-instrumentalist from Los Angeles. His music sounds like the sunny coast he comes from; Indie-folk with a good dose of nostalgia. He writes about growing up, family, and togetherness, which is translated by his skillful guitar playing and harmonious vocal melodies. Ackerman was born in South Pasadena, but as soon as he could, he sought out the Los Angeles scene. He found his way as a musician and made many meters as a singer-songwriter. Yet he never lost the connection with his childhood, and he translates the feelings of aging into beautiful indie folk, in which everyone can recognize themselves. This background can be heard quite explicitly on his latest EP 'Mhm Okay', which features some beautifully playful tracks, like 'Don't Know Why I Love' and 'Loving Hours', but also the warm and meditative 'See You Better', showcasing the range of the LA singer-songwriter. In 2024, Ackerman plans to release a new EP 'Brand New Life', which explores newfound love, as well as future prospects. The EP somehow manages to tend towards the nostalgic and vintage even further, feeling warm and comfortable all the way through.
