David Isenberg Trio- 8.23.24
Although he was born in Virginia, David’s home town and heritage is Cottontown, Tennessee in Sumner Co. Growing up, the Nashville skyline was a regular commodity to David, as well as country music, but it wasn’t until later in life that he realized that he discovered his talent and passion for music artistry. According to family history, David’s grandmother Carol Johnson was a succefull singer who played on the Grand Old Opry and toured with Jim & Jesse. Also, David’s uncle-in-law is renound songwriter Sanger D. “Whitey” Shafer, who pinned such hits as All My Exes Live in Texas and much more. David was unaware of the significance of his musical bloodline when he decided to become an artist for himself. He felt like it was a call from God that he answered, and finding out about his uncle and grandmother just reinforced what he felt to be his calling in life.
David has now written over 200 songs and is well on his way to becoming a Nashville namesake. Some of his biggest musical influences include Bob Dylan, Johnny Cash, Hank Williams, George Jones, Alan Jackson, Billy Currington as well as modern art acts like, Jack White and the White Stripes,
Nirvana, Alice in Chains and the Gorillaz.
David started his professional musical journey at the world famous Tootsie’s Orchid Lounge. Since beginning in 2019, David has played 500+ shows for Tootsie’s on Broadway, mingled and performed with stars such as Jimmy Fallon, Joe Walsh, Billy Ray Cyrus, and Breaking Bad stars Aaron Paul and Bryan Cranston!
Currently, David is recording his debut breakout album with Nashville producer Ben Reno, in Franklin, TN. For the album, he will be joined by rock-and-roll hall of fame drummer, Steve Ferrone, who was the main drummer for Tom Petty and the Heart Breakers for over 30 years, and one of the most recorded drummers in history.
David also plays in full bands at The Mellow Mushroom in Nashville, TN and has a weekly Wednesday night slot at margaritaville.
Off the stage David is a hard working family man with a loving wife and 2 beautiful children.
Music is more than a hobby to David. It is a passion and a way of life. And sharing the love of that experience with the workers and guests of wherever his talents take him, he considers his biggest privilege in life.
