When you talk about music being “in someone’s blood” – it couldn’t run any deeper. Isaac would often tour with the family band and when he was old enough, often joined his family on stage.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eEady left Tennessee and headed over to the Gulf Coast where he dedicated himself to becoming a full time musician. He spent years traveling the country and honing his craft until he landed in New Orleans, a place that until he visited, had only existed in his dreams. Within minutes of arriving, Isaac knew this was his new home.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIn order to have a relationship with the drums, it means starting from the very beginning.

Produced by Isaac Eady alongside co-producers Tyler Greenwell and Edward Joseph Jackson III (aka Ju9cey), the album unfolds as a rich, multi-genre landscape that invites listeners deeper with every track, making it nearly impossible to settle on just one favorite.
