The Wakefuls

The Wakefuls create and perform introspective, poetic, playful, and wildly engaging original music — what founder and songwriter Isaac Mikael has coined “Dream Freak-Folk”. After an epic inception on the Big Sur coast of California, the band has recently moved to the foothills of the Rocky Mountains and settled in “the hip little town everybody loves” — Lyons, Colorado. 

With a current lineup of old friends and new collaborators, The Wakefuls tap into the tender feelings and tones of the indie rock world that’s preceded them. Drawing inspiration from groups like Built To Spill, The New Pornographers, Slowdive, Wilco, Fleet Foxes, and The War On Drugs, The Wakefuls is a band full of dynamic arrangements, driving and dancy rhythms, emotionally tender lyrics, and thoughtfully arranged vocals.
