Daydream Runaways: are a young 4-piece indie-rock band from Wiltshire, England, formed in January 2019. We infuse our passion for both classic and indie rock with indie disco vibes to uplift people’s spirits and get that dance floor shaking! With a number of original songs and a few stylised covers, we are ready to set those summer live stages alight with an energetic set and make a name for the south west music scene!
Debut Single - Light The Spark: was written around the time of a relationship break-up but also at the time where our band was beginning to find the sound we’d been aiming to produce. Angular guitars, off-beat bass melodies, uplifting vocals and energetic drums patterns, the song was written with the indie dancefloor in mind. It’s for those who may have had a long time love or routine come to an end but an opportunity presents itself in the most unexpected of ways. There’s a sense of heartbreak and angst to the song but underlying it all is hope and opportunity

Danny McMahon: has written commercially for paramount songwriting and within the UK country music scene for a number of years however had never seen himself on the front line, as an artist. This all changed upon attending country2country Festival, London in March 2017, where his experience saw him begin to write lyrics that he felt he could only communicate himself due to the honest and personal nature of his new works.
Danny’s passion for country music was bought to the fore upon hearing the famous Brad Paisley song ‘Letter to me’. He said he “connected with the songs’ realness and authenticity”. He became increasingly fixed upon the way country music uses emotive lyrics and shows such a great level of reliability. Danny’s country influences include artists such as Rascal Flatts, Brett Young, Chase Bryant and Thomas Rhett.
Danny writes, records and produces his own music at Puzzle Maker Studios, Bristol. He released his debut EP ‘Making Memories’ in November 2017 of which the single ‘What It’s Like’ reached the semi-finals of Global Unsigned Only 2018 competition. He was also voted best UK male country singer by HEM country radio and reached number 1 in the UK Country Reverbnation Charts.
International attention resulted in Danny becoming the first UK artist to be invited to attend and perform at Springboard West Festival, San Diego, CA in January 2018.
In June 2018, Danny released his second EP ‘Momentarily’ of which the lead single ‘Move’ reached number 73 in the UK iTunes country charts. Since releasing this record, Danny has toured the UK, was awarded UK Male Country Artist of the Year at the UK country music awards and has been nominated for three British Country Music Awards which take place on 24th November.
He has supported both Dylan Schneider (Louisiana, Bristol, UK) and Charlie Worsham (Thekla, Bristol, UK) on their latest UK tours and has recently returned from Nashville where he has been writing and recording with 5-time Grammy nominated and 27-dove nominated artist and producer Billy Smiley.
Danny’s latest single ‘When I See You’ which was released on October 26th debuted at Number 1 in the UK iTunes Country Charts.
