Hailing from the hot desert of Phoenix, Arizona ‘Isle of Essence’ is a melting pot drawing from such styles as funk, rock, jazz and blues. With this soulful approach, they’ve fashioned a groove uniquely their own.
It’s hard to imagine such a distinct and powerful sound is produced by only four musicians: Duane Wissler on bass, Aaron Moore on drums and vocals, Jeremy Perreira on vocals and guitar and Richie Russo on keys. Only in sharing such a complete understanding and love for one another’s music could produce such intense melodies.
When you see IOE perform live, you're drawn in by their obvious love for their craft. Every new face that sees the band never forgets them. With a strong belief in the message carried in their music, they simply wish for an opportunity to share it with the world.
