DAISY THE GREAT

As Daisy the Great, Kelley Nicole Dugan and Mina Walker make folk-inflected indie rock that spans a multitude of moods—often clever, devastating, or both simultaneously, spanning harmony-laden folk pop to powerhouse indie rock balladry. The pair first met as acting majors at NYU’s Tisch School of the Arts, where they studied at Atlantic Acting School, and have since grown into a 6 piece rock outfit with over 250 million streams worldwide. 

“Record Player” by Daisy the Great (featuring AJR) was released as a new version of Daisy the Great’s indie hit “The Record Player Song” in 2021. The song charted as a Top 6 Alternative single, leading Kelley and Mina to perform on both The Kelly Clarkson Show and Dick Clark’s New Year's Rockin Eve. The song was subsequently certified as a Gold Record by the RIAA in 2023. 

Daisy the Great has since released their second full length album ‘All You Need Is Time’, performing the album’s opening song, “Time Machine”, for Steven Colbert’s ‘Late Show Me Music’. They have recently completed full US and European headline tours, performed at numerous festivals (including Lollapalooza, Firefly, and Reeperbahn), and supported on multiple tours opening for The Kooks, Duran Duran, Half Alive, Indigo Girls, AJR, and more. Their most recent release, the ‘Tough Kid EP’ is out now on S-Curve Records.
