As Isaac
God has placed a clear call on As Isaac to sing His praise among the nations, to encourage the church to worship in Spirit and truth, and to share the beauty of life in Christ through the universal language of music.
The songwriters and lead vocalists for As Isaac are Zachary Tate Smith and Rachel Blackmon.
Internationally as a band, they’ve played in England, Ireland, Wales, Canada, the Dominican Republic and Moldova. From their hometown of Chattanooga, they have traveled all over the Southeast, up through New England, the Midwest, and the Southwest playing for churches, retreats, house concerts, coffeehouses, camps, private parties and galas. Whether for few or for thousands, they bring the same skill and passion to each setting.
As Isaac has opened for Kristian Stanfill, The Vespers, and Nashville singer-songwriters like Andy Gullahorn, Christopher Williams, Eric Peters, and Brady Toops. They were a featured artist at the internationally award winning Riverbend Festival. They love touring with dear friends and wonderful musicians like Drakeford or the many others you’ve probably met with them along the way. Meleah Smith is their manager at home and on the road.
The band originally met and formed in youth ministry, where they all served the local body. As Isaac is firmly committed to remaining rooted and grounded in the local church, in family, and their community.
