About Me

Mix the heavier sides of the Beatles and Wilco, but add a crushing rhythm section and you get something close to Dreaming Isabelle's gritty melodies.
Although the members of Dreaming Isabelle hail from different parts of the region and nation, the band's music has been described as a sound that is "very Charlottesville." That doesn't mean that they sound like Dave Matthews. They are a new generation of rockers who write well-crafted songs while referencing the jammier roots of the area. For the most part, their music is focused and forward driven, but they keep this clarity from becoming "pop" by setting the solid riffs and vocal harmonies within sparse and ambient textures and occasional dissonant and distorted tones. These laid back sections create the mood at the beginning of the songs, inviting the audience in to share in the energy as the band drives forward with solid riffs and emotive vocals. While some of their hooks might sound like pop in another context, their arrangement skills make their songs memorable and energetic.
