Bill & Kate Isles



We recently were introduced to a wonderful couple of singer/songwriters at the Blackhawk Folk Festival in Mount Morris Wisconsin. A foursome of us went without knowing any of the performers on the schedule. We were treated to a great show by these two. Kate sings harmony to Bill who solos on six string guitar, and they put out some very fine music.


After the show I shopped the CD table and found their most recent album titled "Matching Baggage". There are at least a half dozen songs on the CD that they had played, so I knew I would like it based upon that representation. The studio versions are extremely well produced and as you might expect have additional instrumental accompaniment. Bill & Kate are based in Duluth MN. So chance to see them around the Midwest are probably pretty good. You'll be glad you did.

It was a beautiful day in the park, and though the highlight for me, of course, was having John here from FL for the event, Bill and Kate's performance was definitely the musical highlight. I love Matching Baggage, and very much look forward to hearing more. - Eileen
