Daydream is a Roots Jam Band that blends Americana, soulful songwriting, and hard-driving Rock n’ Roll with the free improvisation of Jam pioneers like the Grateful Dead and the Allman Brothers. Since 2023, Daydream has been honing a sound that harkens back to these formative influences, while carving a new path wholly its own.
After a long period in the Boston and New England jam scene playing covers with various groups, bandleader David Rubin started Daydream as an outlet for his own original music. David has won over audiences with his prowess and by playing with the some of most recognizable acts in the scene, including his own band Diamond Blues, at residencies, tour dates, and festivals in the Boston area. He’s played with Members of Hot Tuna, Ryan Montbleau, New Riders of the Purple Sage, Dark Star Orchestra, Guerilla Toss, Marble Eyes, Swimmer, Brown-Eyed Women, and Bearly Dead.
The band, along with David Rubin on guitar/vocals, is rounded out by on-the-rise powerhouses Liam Oulton on bass, Douglas Appleman on keyboards, and Robbie Parrish on drums/vocals.
