Episode 78: Michael Isaak

Welcome to Episode 78 of Music in the Minor League. As you can see, we've been a little slow on recording new episodes this season. We've been busy with full band practices, life obligations and tour planning. We hope to be back to a more regular schedule later in the summer. But, enough about us, let's talk about this episode's guest: Michael Isaak. Michael is a rising Egyptian-American musician who is set to release his debut album, The Carpet Maker on May 15th. This album is an exploration of his diasporic identity, bringing together his Egyptian heritage and American upbringing through his unique "Arabesque Folk" sound. This marks a new artistic phase for the New York-based musician as he reconnects with his cultural roots.Now, make sure you go follow Michael on your preferred streaming service so you can listen to The Carpet Maker when it is released on May 15, 2026.
