Inland Isle

Inland Isle’s members were bound to find each other in the small – but surprisingly deep – music scene in Jackson, Wyoming. Drawing from indie rock, Americana and chamber pop influences, the band’s songs are anchored by the sometimes introspective, other times incisive lyrics sung by songwriter-guitarist Patrick Chadwick atop lush vocal harmonies.

Released in 2021, Inland Isle’s eight-song debut album, “Time Has Changed Us,” reckons with the aftermath of upheaval in America and its effects on relationships, community and livelihoods. It was lauded by Glide magazine as a "big Laurel Canyon sound," and by Under the Radar as "rich heartland rock, folk harmonies, and anthemic vocal hooks.” The band's latest single, “Year’s Divide,” was released as part of The WyoFolk Project in April 2023.

Often confused as brothers at shows, Chadwick and lead guitarist Dusty Nichols each grew up in Massachusetts – and even lived in the same Boston-area neighborhood – but the pair of songwriters didn’t meet until moving cross-country. Currently recording its second album, Inland Isle is rounded out by prolific musicians Leif Routman on bass and Liam O’Neill on drums.
