Hi! This site is dedicated to The Isaacs. I became a fan of the Isaacs the first time I saw them in Concert. The album they had released that year was "Our Style" and my favorite song was "Reaping in the Spirit". I heard this awesome Southern Gospel Bluegrass band in a High School auditorium and their awesome harmony blew me away. I knew I'd be a fan of theirs from that moment on. Their song "Carry Me" has touched my heart more than they'll ever know. It really has gotten me through some rough times in my life. Thanks a bunch!

I recently attended a gospel music concert in Lincolnton, NC that they were performing at and was able to meet Sonya Isaacs, my favorite singer and get her autograph on her solo country CD. The first time I heard this girl sing I knew she would go a long way and she did. From singing with her family to singing backup for Vince Gill, fans soon found her with a record deal with Lyric Street Records. I was not disappointed by her leap into the secular world of country music but I still think she sings gospel bluegrass a lot better! Sonya is not the only one in the group I love to hear sing. I love to hear Lily Isaacs (mother) and Rebecca (sister) sing. All these ladies have wonderful voices and God given talent and they use it for God's work. I sing and I write songs but these women have what it takes to be a great singer/songwriter.

I must not and will not leave out the male talent in the group. Ben Isaacs plays the acoustic bass and sings very well also. Tim Surrett, Sonya's husband, sings on numerous tracks and sings with pure passion for God with every note. John Bowman is Rebecca's husband and he is also a very talented musician. He plays the guitar, fiddle and banjo. Adam Steffey plays the mandolin and I hate to say this but I don't know much about him (he is the guy on the left end of entire group shot).

I mustn't leave out the cutest member of this band. He also has the talent to match! Levi Bowman is Rebecca and John's son. He came out on stage to sing a song with the family. He's as cute as a button!
