Isaac Vancil

A Dallas based singer/ songwriter, compelled by his love for the artistry of music and its inherent ability to connect and engage the hearts of people; Isaac Vancil labors to capture the pain and beauty that is complexly woven throughout our lives. Influenced by so many bitter/sweet songs, Isaac was raised on the music of artist such as Harry Nilsson, Bruce Cockburn, Willie Nelson, Gordon Lightfoot, Tom Waits, Bob Dylan, Simon and Garfunkel, Neil Young, Daniel Lenois, Chris Whitley and many others.       

The youngest child, born into a family of artists and musicians, Isaac spent the early part of his childhood on the road with his parent’s traveling gospel music group “New Harvest” and later in the clubs of Deep Ellum in Dallas, TX with his brother, Ezra Vancil of Gypsy Tree and Ezra Thomas. Isaac was not so moved by the music scene, but rather by the music itself. Under the shadow of so many great performers, he struggled for many years to find his own voice. It was not until many years later, when he left the music scene of Dallas and moved into the mountains of Colorado that his music began to stand apart as something different. The time in Colorado gave him new perspective, not only on music, but also on life, love and community.

Today, Isaac is back in Dallas, and it is for the sake of community that Isaac performs his music. Through this avenue he is able to communicate his heart, connect with others, and influence the world around him. He released his debut EP titled "After Years" in December of 2017, which is titled both for the years of labor that went into it's creation, and the After Years title track that reflects on his bitter-sweet journey of recent years. Since the release of this EP, Isaac has returned to the studio and begun work on his first full length album, "Travelers", which is hoped to be released towards the end of 2018.
