With a resume that includes bartender, construction worker, beer truck driver, and ranch hand,
singer/songwriter Isaac Hoskins traffics in the same hardscrabble world he’s created in his body
of work. An Oklahoma native, Hoskins grew up in southern Kansas
and briefly attended Wichita
State University before dropping out and moving south to become a Texas songwriter in the
tradition of Jack Ingram, Guy Clark and Robert Earl Keen. After the global COVID pandemic
came to a head in 2020, and Hoskins watched the
live music world evaporate, things spun to a
dark head, and he knew something had to change. After three days alone in the desert, Hoskins
came home and started over. 12 months sober, 30 pounds lighter, and now performing full
time, Hoskins has channeled
the darkness into a new album,
Bender
. Recorded at The Finishing
School in Austin, TX and produced and engineered by Gordy Quist of The Band of Heathens,
Bender
conjures Merle Haggard, Willie Nelson, Guy Clark, and John Prine in an ode to unhealthy
coping
strategies and life on the other side.
