Isabel Marcheselli SingeR- Songwriter & Pianist

Instead of my saying that I had a hard early life, I’ll just say that there are, sometimes, parts of life that one feels like they could just white out and paint all over. 

And yet perhaps, if one looks…

Although this post is a bit off of the beaten path today, I am happy to announce that I have created brand new instagram channels so as to better serve my fans with particularly special interests in my classical music…

One of my songs which has not been recorded yet, “Hillsong,” would unexpectedly bring me to tears every time that I rehearsed it.

Thus far, a lot of grit, toil, and faith has gone into the making of my band, Isabel and The Whispers’, new upcoming album, Isabel and The Whispers 2 – WANDER, which I first planned with my drummer, Alec…

It was such a privilege to recently record with amazingly talented drummer, Alec Menge, a native of New York, for our upcoming album, Isabel and The Whispers 2 – WANDER, to be released next year.

We had all reunited in…

It’s possible that I have never been as excited as I am now to meet my bandmates from Isabel and The Whispers this summer. 

The subject of bandmates is an overlooked one in this world of solo-glorifying musicians. There’s precious…

Today, it’s official, I lost 20 pounds over 3 months while working on my upcoming album!

In reality, I have been working on my album over the past year, and there have, indeed, been days when I have been at…

Being asked how I write my songs is like being asked why is the sky blue, or where do babies come from, or why do snail shells have a concentric shape?

Writing songs to me is about much more than…

I was once asked to teach songwriting to others, and the thought of doing this struck terror into my heart.

Years back, you see, I had taken a songwriting class, and actually found myself in the position of having to…

It’s been a long, kind of painful and painstaking road to recording a new album. The pandemic has had the effect of almost wearing us all out, my bandmates and myself, and we’ve had more long-distance communications than I can…

Today, you can read an article with news about me in The Westfield News as an artist teacher who has received grant support from numerous organizations. Check it out here!

While I was an undergraduate at Cornell and well before my songwriting days, I had the good fortune of getting to know the late and great poet and two-time winner of the National Book Award, A.R. Ammons.

At the time…

I first met George through my sister who got to know him at F.I.T. Over the years, he has been a musical hero of a roadie for my band, Isabel and The Whispers, who has helped us with everything from…

Today, as I was getting the mail, I saw a letter from the office of Senator John C. Velis from the State House that caught my attention.

I thought, for sure, maybe it was some kind of health insurance related…

A little under a year ago, the COVID-19 pandemic caused such a disruption in our world and musicians, like myself, have been hit very hard as a result.

My musical life and studio could haven given in to dejection, paralysis…

I am overcome with gratitude to learn that I have been selected to receive grant support from the Massachusetts Cultural Council as a musician that has been impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic.

This grant means a lot to me as…

In celebration of the recent passing of the 10th anniversary since the release of my album, Isabel and The Whispers, I am thrilled to announce the making of five official music videos from my band (Isabel and The Whispers…

My bandmates and I recently were surprised to learn that “Do You Have to See Me Cry?“ is listened to more than we thought on Apple. Maybe it’s because I stash this song away and don’t promote it…

Isabel and The Whispers’ most shazam-ed song on Apple Music is the “Aftersong.”  My bandmates and I sincerely appreciate knowing this!  Not to mention that I am personally touched by this fact, as this was the very first…

My band-mates and I have come out in a brand new article about our recording of “Dot to Dot” (off of our Isabel and The Whispers album) in the uber cool British music blog, Stereo Stickman.
