MEET ISAAC

Country music singer, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist Isaac Cole first captured the nation’s attention when he earned a spot as a finalist on “American Idol” in 2016 as a 15-year-old. By then, he had already been noticed by the Gretsch guitar company, which has endorsed him as an artist since more than a year prior to that.

Originally from northwestern Pennsylvania, Isaac was the second youngest solo artist ever inducted into the Wheeling Jamboree, which is the nation’s second longest-running country music show behind only the Grand Ole Opry. He was inducted right behind country superstar Brad Paisley, and they were both taught lead guitar by the same teacher, Mr. Roger Hoard.

After graduating from high school, Isaac made the move to Nashville to pursue a music career. In 2019, he spent the year as a full-time utility musician at Dollywood Theme Park. He played acoustic & electric guitar, banjo, fiddle, and harmonica. After working there for only a month, he was given the honor of playing guitar for Dolly Parton herself.

Having returned to Nashville at the age of 21, Isaac has been performing and songwriting around Nashville consistently for the past several years. He released his “Fifth” album in October of 2021. He’s had two of his singles released to country radio, and both have broken into the top 100 of the Music Row Chart.

Since 2023, Isaac has performed regularly on Honky Tonk Row in Nashville, and tours consistently around the country. Highlights have included opening for Drake White at the Big Butler Fair in Pennsylvania, and making his debut at Whiskey Jam in Nashville, where he performed his single “OH DEER” to an enthusiastic audience of new fans.
