For almost monday, it all started in a San Diego surf shop. Longtime friends Dawson Daugherty (vocals), Cole Clisby (guitar) and Luke Fabry (bass) bonded over surf culture and a shared love of music. They burst onto the scene in 2020 with their breakout single "broken people," an indie-pop anthem that earned a remix by Grammy-nominated duo Sofi Tukker and climbed into the charts at Alternative Radio. It was an early glimpse into what would become their signature: infectious energy and danceable grooves. With over 650 million streams, almost monday has built a universe all their own. Their music has been featured across ESPN, CBS, Bravo, HBO Max and Netflix, to FOX, TNT and more - amplifying their reach far beyond the stage. They’ve collaborated with artists like Jordana (on the electrifying “jupiter”) worked with producers behind OneRepublic and The Killers and continue to blur the lines between alt-pop and indie rock with bold creative direction and a growing global following. From surf shops to global stages, almost monday is defining their era with style, swagger and a sound that defines the moment. Their music doesn’t just soundtrack a summer – it creates one. Like catching a perfect wave, it’s sun-soaked, uplifting, and impossible not to dance to. almost monday on Facebook / Instagram
