Isaac Cole

Country music singer, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist Isaac Cole first captured the nation’s attention when he earned a spot as a finalist on Fox’s “American Idol” season XV in 2016 as a fifteen-year-old. He had already been noticed by the Gretsch Guitar Company, which had endorsed him since he was 14. Originally from northwestern Pennsylvania, Isaac was also the second youngest solo artist ever inducted into the Wheeling Jamboree (the nation’s second longest running country music show behind only the Grand Ole’ Opry), behind country music superstar Brad Paisley. 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 in the Back Porch Band. After working there for only a month, he was given the honor of accompanying Dolly Parton herself on acoustic guitar. He returned to Nashville when he turned 21 to make a name for himself as a performer & songwriter. He recorded his “Fifth” album that year. Since then, two of his Country Radio singles have broken into the top 100 of the Music Row Chart.

In 2023, he started performing with his own band, quitting his day job to work in music full time both on Broadway in Nashville and as a nationwide touring artist. Isaac and the band made their debut at the prestigious (by invitation only) “Whiskey Jam” for the first time in January 2024 where they debuted his single “OH DEER”. They have returned multiple times since then, and have opened for Drake White, Love & Theft, Emerson Drive, Whey Jennings, Craig Morgan, and Randy Houser. Isaac has been called “the next Charlie Daniels” by many fans because of his energetic fiddle performances. He is a born entertainer who loves every minute of what he does, and loves to share it with the world.
