    The Isaacs has been wowing audiences with their unique brand of bluegrass gospel for more than 30 years. Now, the six-member family group make their Gospel Music Channel concert debut with Front Row Live: The Isaacs, world premiering this Saturday, August 4 at 8 p.m. ET/PT.

With their stunning folk-influenced harmonies and world class instrumentation, The Isaacs blend bluegrass harmonies with modern southern Gospel lyrics and add in a touch of country, blues and R&B. In their Front Row Live concert, shot in the spring at an intimate venue in Nashville, The Isaacs perform songs from their recently released CD, Big Sky along with favorites from past recordings, including “Under the Big Sky,” “Great Is Thy Reward,” “I Bring it to You,” “Yours and Mine,” “Thru the Valley,” “Walk On,” “Barbie Band-Aids,” “The One I’m Dying For” and “It is Well With My Soul.”

Gospel Music Channel will present encore presentations of Front Row Live: The Isaacs on August 6, 8 and 10 at 9:00 p.m. (ET/PT). Visit www.gospelmusicchannel.com for complete listings.

Through more than 20 albums and thousands of live appearances, the Isaacs have become one of the most important acts in acoustic music. Vocalist and family matriarch Lily Isaacs helped carve the family’s style out of a background that included off-Broadway theatre and a 1968 Columbia Records album as half of the folk duo, Lily and Maria. Standup bass player and son, Ben Isaacs, has played with Tony Rice, Ralph Stanley, Aubrey Haynie, Rhonda Vincent and many others. Daughter Sonya Isaacs released several country singles on Lyric Street Records, toured with Vince Gill and has recorded with Dolly Parton, Stanley, Reba McEntire and Brad Paisley. Youngest daughter, Becky Isaacs Bowman, is an award-winning songwriter who has made guest appearances as a vocalist with Parton, Bryan Sutton, Paul Simon, Stanley, Mark Lowry and others. John Bowman, a world-class multi-instrumentalist who has worked and traveled with Alison Krauss & Union Station and Doyle Lawson & Quicksilver, is married to Becky.
