Bio / Background
Bill Isles performed his first show of original songs in twenty-five years in February of 2000. Since that time, he has become one of the most well known singer/songwriters in the Minnesota acoustic scene and has begun to get national and international attention. His first UK tour was in March of 2003.
His songs are poetic reflections of life experiences and often explore adventurous spiritual courses. Admittedly a romantic, many of his lyrics describe emotional and sensual encounters. At the same time, just when you conclude that a song is about Michelangelo's first visit to scope out the project at the Sistine Chapel, you start to realize that, perhaps, this is also an artist's perception of entering the "chapel" of his/her audience. But then, again, it also hints at the intimate interaction of lovers. It is this multi-layering that has drawn fans to listen over and over again.
