Inland Seaway is a Seattle-based folk and Americana quartet featuring Ryan Manthey, Dan Sodomka, Erika Lundahl, and Andi Scher. The group blends acoustic guitar, mandolin, banjo, and rich vocal harmonies into lively, playful arrangements that sit somewhere between folk, bluegrass, and Americana. Many consider Inland Seaway a kind of “supergroup,” as each member also leads their own musical projects across the Pacific Northwest.

Manthey (Cleveland, Ohio) and Sodomka (Duluth, Minnesota) first began playing together in 2018 after meeting at Seattle’s Conor Byrne Pub, bonding over their shared Great Lakes roots and a love of artists like Charlie Parr and William Elliott Whitmore. In 2022, a collaborative show with Lundahl and Scher at the historic Tavern in Seattle sparked the full band lineup.

Inland Seaway released their debut EP Make It There Eventually in 2023 and will release their first full-length record in June 2026. Their songs celebrate finding joy in struggle, appreciating the natural world, and sharing a good laugh along the way.
