Paradise Daze

Paradise Daze is a three-piece band based out of Nashville, TN. consisting of Matt Daughtry- vox/gtr, Chris Ross- Drums/BGVs and Donnie Green- Bass. Singer Matt Daughtry and drummer Chris Ross have been writing and playing music together since around 1997. They went through many different line-ups and genres of music playing everything from hard-core metal to punk and ska. It wasn't until around 2002- 2003 that they really started writing and crafting their own sound. The band From Down Here with Daughtry, Ross and former bassist Kyle Logan were playing the local Nashville scene, and had even recorded a 5 song demo with local engineer TJ King at his home studio, which was later redone in MTSUs world renowned studios. The band stuck it out for about 2 years but conflict of interest got the best of everyone. After a short hiatus drummer Chris Ross and singer Matt Daughtry got in contact with an old high school buddy who played bass by the name of Donnie Green. It did not take long for the band to realize Donnie was the right guy for the job. The band decided a new name was in order, a few names were thrown around but Paradise Daze stuck out to everyone. Since then the band has recorded its first full length CD titled "Unity is Free" in Springfield, TN at ESP studios with engineer Brandon Cole. The band has been gigging every weekend including a spot at every Vanderbilt Football Game at home for the 2006 season, which was landed by producer Tom Woodard with Earth Rock Entertainment. The band has been talking with Tom Woodard and producer Ray Barnett (produced Billy Deans last 2 albums), also of Earth Rock Entertainment. The band hopes to go on their first tour in the spring and summer of 2007. Paradise Daze has their mind open to all kinds of music, their set list is guaranteed to make you dance. Paradise Daze plays mixture of covers and originals. Covers include a wide range of artist including Sublime, Stevie Ray Vaughn, Tom Petty, 311, Incubus and Bob Marley. Their original material definitely favors all of the artists above with an Alternative Reggae sound. All of the songs are positive and convey messages of peace and happiness unity and freedom.
