Based in Hendersonville, Tenn., the group is a multi-award winning family featuring mother, Lilly Isaacs, and her children, Ben Isaacs, Sonya Isaacs Yeary and Rebecca Isaacs Bowman. They frequently appear at the Grand Ole Opry, are active members on the Gaither Homecoming videos and concert series, and travel internationally throughout the year to perform.

The band has a unique style that blends tight family harmony with contemporary acoustic instrumentation. Their musical style has been influenced by many genres including bluegrass, rhythm and blues, folk, country, contemporary, acoustic and southern gospel. They’ve even gathered a loyal following among younger people who like the acoustic styling.

“My husband at the time, when we were married, we started singing together,” said Lily Isaacs. “As our children were born, they were extremely talented, and it just sort of happened.”

Working with her children is something she enjoys doing.
