The Lake Isle

The Lake Isle is an American shoegaze band. It takes its name and inspiration from the Yeats’ poem, “The Lake Isle of Innisfree”. Mark Doughtery played solo out in his hometown of Greensboro, NC, from (2005 to 2009) with his collection of original songs and acoustic guitar until the universe conspired to create a band. In late 2009, Shawn Smith became lead guitarist and helped to develop Lake Isle’s unique sound of post-alternative “dream pop”.
