Reflecting back on the year 2023 has us feeling really grateful and kind of in shock about all that's happened, how much we've bounced back. We started 2023 with a fresh new logo, which is now on much of our merch options. We fell in love with the simple yet meaningful design. An orchid to represent our desire to grow into something beautiful and some sparkle to add a bit of magic to the design. We were still functionally a duo of Matt and Justin. Then we got right to work recording our EP which got pushed way back due to covid and personnel change in the band. The Music For Love EP turned out great and we can't wait to release our next single for you, “Wake Up”.
We'd have to say the best thing about this year was the official addition of our two new members Mike and Arthur. With our debut as a 4-piece at the Homegrown Fest, we could tell we had something special. We thank each and every one of you who came out to support the fest. I (Justin) personally was afraid that we wouldn't be able to match the energy we had at Basecamp. Then we landed a gig at Cubby Bear. We gave a performance that left our significant others saying, “Where did THAT come from?” So now we have a new standard. We are committing to give you even more energy during our live shows!
I don't know. This year felt great and Modern Daybreak has a lot of momentum and ideas for 2024. Once again, thanks to our fans who showed up this year! You really make all the struggles over the years worth it.
Keep an eye out for news about our single. Our next show is February 15th at Montrose Saloon, so mark your calendars!
