Contact: Harriet Laird
STARKVILLE, Miss.鈥Alt-indie pop artist Dayglow performs at 汤头条 on April 11, 7 p.m., after gracing such venue stages as Lollapalooza, Bonnaroo, Firefly Festival, Austin City Limits and more. The multiplatinum-certified artist first won over fans with his hit single 鈥淐an I Call You Tonight,鈥 which went double platinum and was one of the biggest independent alternative songs of 2020.
The native Texan鈥檚 albums 鈥淔uzzybrain,鈥 鈥淗armony House鈥 and 鈥淧eople In Motion鈥 continued the release of more hit singles showing his undeniable talent as not only a singer, but also as a songwriter, multi-instrumentalist and producer. With tour dates across the world, Dayglow also has performed live on 鈥淭he Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon,鈥 鈥淎ustin City Limits鈥 and 鈥淭he Late Show with Stephen Colbert.鈥
Washington Square News described Dayglow鈥檚 music as 鈥渄rawing inspiration from the upbeat, groovy style of artists such as the Doobie Brothers and Michael McDonald.鈥
Also taking the amphitheater stage is The Moss, with a distinctive sound blending alt-rock, reggae and 1960鈥檚 blues. The group began as four teenage friends on Hawaii鈥檚 Oahu Island before they were lured to the mainland and Utah鈥檚 Great Salt Lake beaches.
Distinguishing themselves as a staple of the alt-indie scene, The Moss released their debut album 鈥淏ryology鈥 in 2019. With that solid foundation, they then released 鈥淜entucky Derby鈥 in 2021 with a musical style that they self-describe as storytelling with a 鈥渟un-soaked sentiment.鈥
鈥淭he Moss is bound to be a music namesake of the upcoming generation, and I highly encourage you to catch them whenever you find yourselves in the same area code,鈥 said writer Tommy Moore of Daybreak Magazine.
