Influences
Caffeine & Sanctuary is most heavily influenced by two albums:
Live at the Old Quarter by Townes Van Zandt
American Recordings by Johnny Cash
There's also a lot of Bob Dylan in what I do in singer/songwriter mode.
That said, the sound I'm always chasing is that of John Mayer Trio, Cream, Joe Bonamassa, and other stripped-down blues-influenced rock groups.
These days I've been listening to a lot of Bob Marley, AC/DC, Counting Crowes, and of course Led Zeppilin.
After literally years of promising friends and family an album of original music, it's finally here! Caffeine & Sanctuary is a collection of live tracks recorded in my living room on a Tascam 2488. As much as I love rockin' out to blues on my Strat, most folks know my music from worship or coffeehouse jams on my acoustic. Caffeine & Sanctuary represents original music from both of these settings. Half of the songs are from the biblical or liturgical texts. The other half are 100% original. Sometimes the text says it best; sometimes the heart does.
Caffeine & Sanctuary is scheduled to be released September 12, 2008 at Java Connexion in San Antonio, but you can order the CD or download individual tracks now (see below). Also, over the next year or so you'll be able to download a different song from last year's demo project each month for free! How cool is that?
In addition to being my debut album, Caffeine & Sanctuary is the first project for my budding indie label, Obed T. Records. If you're in the San Antonio area and you'd like to make an album, feel free to email me at obedtrecords@gmail.com.
Check out some of the folks below. They've got great music and are all either indie or unsigned!
You're invited! Hope you can make it!

Malcolm Holcombe is one of my favorite people in the world, both musically and just for being the person that he is. Don't hesitate to just come on over next time when you hear about it on the radio. You would have enjoyed Malcolm's music and getting to meet him and talk - such a gracious guy. We had a full house - a very responsive audience. Malcolm brought Andrew Hardin to sit in with him on lead. Gorgeous - what a real treat! Many musicians came to this one - which is something I love to see; shows their respect for the featured artist. I was pleased with who was there. You should see some photos in the Express News Weekender - The View one of these weekends soon. A photographer came to take pics of what people do in their homes to have fun and to entertain themselves during these tough times. House concerts certainly fit the bill, I'd say!
Hope to see you again one of these days. Are you holding any holiday things at your place this year? Also, please let me know when you are scheduled to play again, thanks. Take good care, Shalom, JoLynn
Last night was fabulous and fun! I listened to your spiffy new album all the way home last night - WOW! I'm so happy I have that CD and I'm really loving all these new songs! Congratulations, Isaac - the CD will remain in my player for quite a while yet, with many re-visits. Now...to catch you Live again sometime...keep me posted. (o: JoLynn P.S. Glad you found your howwwwlllllll....!
