Inland Seaway is a musical collaboration of songwriters and musicians Ryan Manthey and Dan Sodomka. Growing up in different corners of the Great Lakes area, Manthey in Clevland , OH and Sodomka Duluth, MN they met in 2018 at the Conor Byrne Pub after both recently making their way to Seattle. Here they quickly bonded over their midwest roots and love for local musical influences like Charlie Parr, and William Elliot Whitmore the likes of which can be noticed in their playful string dancing and thoughtful lyrics.&nbsp;____________________________________________________________________________________________________________Over the span of his 20-year career, Jack Parker has taken his life-long journey through the peaks and valleys, and shaped a musical sound reminiscent of a timeless America. For years, Parker has been the ingenious six-string slinger interpreting other people’s songs from “stage-right” as a founding member of Tumbledown (along with Mike Herrera of MxPx), Rocky Point All-Stars, New Old Stock, and Dark Horses, (Parker was also a guitarist for the legendary Bremerton punk band MxPx from 2011-2016), but more recently he has taken center-stage to write, sing, and play his own songs that have an air of rambling down the open road, but ultimately a longing for coming home. His roots lie in the heart of the great Pacific Northwest, right next to the shores of Puget Sound.__________________________________________________________________________________________________________Haunted by the towering evergreens and year-round mists of the Pacific Northwest, the Phantom Pines brings dark aggression to folk music. Solo artist Jann Erik crafts songs that take root in folk but draw inspiration from punk and black metal.
