Daisy the Great

Emerging from the depths of Brooklyn’s indie music scene, Daisy the Great is the utterly infectious project of Kelley Dugan and Mina Walker. The duo first met as acting majors at NYU’s Tisch School of the Arts where they began co-writing a musical about a fictional band before realizing they could make it happen in real life and set out as Daisy the Great. Inspired by artists like Fiona Apple and Bowie, Daisy the Great’s imaginative and clever songwriting meets whimsy and an unmistakable rawness to bring their music to life. Following the immediate success of “The Record Player Song,” the band released their debut full-length I’m Not Getting Any Taller in 2019, followed by 2020’s quarantine-born Soft Songs EP , and their 2022 masterful sophomore album, All You Need Is Time, which has garnered 500M streams to date.

The last couple of years have seen Daisy the Great rise to new heights - collaborating with artists like illuminati hotties and Claud, playing major festivals like Lollapalooza and Firefly, and joining The Kooks and The Vaccines on their 2024 North American headline tour.

Last October, the band released the kaleidoscopic EP Spectacle: Daisy the Great vs. Tony Visconti, which saw notable praise from Atwood Magazine, Northern Transmissions, Spinning Platters, LaunchLeft, and tons more. With sonic experimentation and stellar songwriting on full display, Daisy the Great showcased a new side of their indie prowess, marking them artists to watch in the space. 2025 is expected to be even more exciting as the band has been in the studio for the last couple of months with GRAMMY® award-winning producer Catherine Marks (boygenius, St. Vincent, Wolf Alice) working on new material.

THE OPHELIAS BIO The Ophelias are a band inspired by nostalgia, nature, the Midwest, horror movies, and the moon. They formed in Cincinnati, Ohio when Spencer Peppet (she/her) was a senior in high school. She recruited Mic Adams (he/him) on drums and Andrea Gutmann Fuentes (she/her) on violin, and Jo Shaffer (they/she) joined on bass a few years later. Their albums Creature Native (2015), Almost (2018) and Crocus (2021), have received praise from The New York Times, Pitchfork, Stereogum, and other major outlets. They have played with bands like Indigo de Souza, Julien Baker, Mannequin Pussy, Eliza McLamb, and comedian Cat Cohen; played festivals like SXSW, Treefort, and Nelsonville; and moved around the country, with members now living in New York, Chicago, and D.C. Their new album Spring Grove, produced by Grammy winner Julien Baker, is out April 4th on Get Better Records. The Ophelias are a joyfully queer band with predominantly queer and trans members, and they take pride both in their identities and vocally supporting queer & trans rights.
