Steve Isaac

I simply play guitar and sing. No 'effects' pedals and only simple acoustic modifications that come in the amplification and don't change throughout the performance. I could just as easily play completely un-amplified if needed. I don't talk to the audience much if they are not attentive, I will simply play what I think they might choose from my song list. I can play an hour of originals, or probably 3 hours each of Classic Rock and Alternative Rock. I know at least an hour of more current music, both Pop and Rock, with only a handful of country songs that I really like. I enjoy playing covers of songs which are very different (but intended to be better, considering I'm doing them with only guitar and vocal) than the original. Altogether I probably have 9 hours of music memorized to choose from.

Originally from Dallas, Tx. I now reside in St Petersburg, FL. I am a late bloomer as a musician having only really played in public for the first time at the age of 51... I am 59 now. Simply on the basis of my appearances at local open mic shows, I stay pretty busy singing in local bars and restaurants. I am currently (Jan, 2018) working on my first CD recording some of my 15 original songs and the cover Addicted in my video list. I am still waiting for the opportunity to sing in front of a large crowd (like a festival, for instance) and I hope to see it soon. I most enjoy singing the songs that move people emotionally rather than what everyone else is playing, and have really touched many with an intuitive grasp of their favorite music. I play from memory and currently have about 160 songs on my list, which changes all the time. I learn new stuff and drop things that I rarely play, as often as I can. That keeps the music fresh and engaging for me, which translates to the audience.

With an electrical output, I can set up my lights and sound in a small area, as needed.
