Sample Dave McIsaac's Music
About Dave McIsaac
My name is Dave McIsaac. I grew up on classical music and jazz. How I got into country music is another story. But this isn't the time or place for that...I write, sing, play keys and fiddle. I have been a performing musician for more years than I care to mention. I've been on the verge of "success" a number of times (in a band that was signed in the 70's), traveling all over the US and Canada performing on stage with or opening up for dozens of major stars of the time (Ricky Skaggs, Juice Newton, Doug Kershaw, Bailie and the Boys, etc.). But life on the road has it's drawbacks - and I succumbed. It's been a long road back up to good health and a sound mind! I'm happy to say that I've been clean and sober for a good number of years and have made the decision to try a different path to "success". Now I'm a semi-retired musician trying to make a living in Pocatello, Idaho, taking care of his beautiful wife (Mary Jo) who has MS (Multiple Sclerosis). I don't do much playing anymore. I'm not particularly into bar gigs and there really isn't much else available around here. And playing on the road is rough on my wife, so I keep it down to an occasional show with old friends like Tommy Overstreet, Johnny U and the boys, or whoever else happens to be in the area. I'm just doing some writing and recording at home in my spare time with the dream that someday I might accidentally come up with something good enough to be picked up and recorded so I could take care of my wife properly. (She can't take care of herself very well anymore.) I've recently completed my first CD. I did it all at home using my Fostex FD8 (digital multi-track recorder), sequencing on my Peavey DPM-SI keyboard which I MIDI into a Casio WK 3000 for a fatter sound. All the fiddle is done on a ZETA Strados electric violin. All things considered, it came out pretty good (maybe God had something to do with that...) and I would like to share some of it with you. May God bless us all, each and every one....Dave
