YEARY, SONYA MELISSA ISAACS (1974-)

Sonya is the older daughter of Joe and Lily Isaacs and plays mandolin in the Isaacs, a family gospel act. She has explored the possibility of a solo country career by traveling with Vince Gill and providing some beautiful harmony vocals for him, which led to a solo recording contract for her. She had a couple of CDs issued, but micro-management by the record company, over-production, and lack of promotion doomed those projects. She has also recorded harmony vocals with numerous artists, including Dolly Parton, Rhonda Vincent, Vince Gill, Ralph Stanley, Reba McIntyre, and Brad Paisley. Her hot mandolin playing and backup vocals added a lot to Stacy York’s CD Kentucky In the Rain.
