almost monday

Emerging from garage jams and D.I.Y. gigs, almost monday —Dawson Daugherty (vocals), Cole Clisby (guitar) and Luke Fabry (bass)—burst onto the scene in 2020 with a sound that embodies the sun-soaked essence of California. Their debut EP, don’t say you’re ordinary, produced with Mark Needham (The Killers, Fleetwood Mac)  and Simon Oscroft (The Naked and Famous, DREAMERS), quickly gained traction with hits like "parking lot view" and "come on come on." Their infectious energy and empowering anthems, notably "broken people," along with the Sofi Tukker remix, garnered attention, propelling them into the Top 20 at Alternative Radio. 

In 2021, almost monday continued to shine with their second EP, til the end of time, and singles like "live forever" and "cool enough," earning acclaim from Alternative Press, Forbes, People, GQ Australia, Earmilk,  Flaunt,  Ones To Watch and more. Festival debuts at Lollapalooza, BottleRock and Firefly and sharing stages with Kings of Leon, Dayglow, Walk The Moon and Joywave further solidified their rising status

The momentum surged into 2022 with coastal-inspired singles like "sunburn" and "sun keeps on shining," earning radio success with the latter a top 10 hit on Sirius XM Alt Nation, a top 20 hit on Alternative Radio, and the official song of the 2022 Vans US Open of Surfing. Festival slots, Governor’s Ball, WonderBus and Innings Festival, alongside touring North and South America with The Driver Era, and headline shows in Japan and South Korea wrapped up the year.

In 2023, almost monday maintained their indie-pop prowess with festival appearances including WonderRoad, Wonderstruck,  Have A Nice Trip (Korea), and Life is Beautiful and tours with AJR, Weathers, and The Driver Era. 2023 hosted a string of singles led by the infectious "only wanna dance,” which premiered with V Magazine, “coast to coast,”  the reflective "life goes by," and “sweet feelings.”
