The Wakefuls was a project originally dreamed up by songwriter and troubadour Isaac Mikael to perform the music from the “Errands EP”, which was recorded originally in 2012 with songs developed with current bassist Patrick Colman and keys player Jason Kane while all living together in Denver. The EP was not released until 2017-- While living on the Big Sur coast of California, with encouragement from dear friend and future manager Michael Handy (CEO of Luvlab Productions, festival creator and producer), Isaac decided to finally release the Errands EP and form a band to play a circuit of festival shows across the west coast. After that delicious stretch of performances, that incarnation of the band decided to go into the Studio to record a follow up to Errands, which turned into an unreleased record that no one has heard a note of, and a long hiatus from recording performance for Isaac and that version of the project. You could say that songwriting for Isaac has been a labor of a big life and a lot of love, and sometimes it has ended up in shambles. Such as life.
