Back to Life with Music and Bill Isles

Bill & Kate Isles

Bill Isles was into all kinds of music and several instruments back in his youth, but then there was a hiatus of around 25 years where he was focused elsewhere. It took a near-death experience, where he had no heartbeat for 2 minutes, to spur him back to his passion for music, now partnered with his wife, Kate. Deeply rooted in the soil and water of his homeland in Northern Minnesota, Bill tells the story of his life and his homeland through his music.

This is an awesome podcast on Bill and Kate Isles. It took me on beautiful journey of laughter, a couple tears and a melodious ride that I enjoyed immensely and really needed today. Thank you!

I am lucky to live in Duluth and to have enjoyed Bill and Kate’s music, lyrics and vocal harmonies for years. Bill and Kate, you have both been a blessing to me. Keep singing! Thank you and best wishes on your home remodeling! ❤️
