Backstory:
Formed in the vibrant city of Austin, Texas, in 2013, Jaunty Attack is a unique blend of five friends with a shared passion for music and an unmatched energy to perform. The band’s inception was born out of a late-night jam session at a local hole-in-the-wall bar where Damon (lead vocals), Lance (lead guitar), Pete (bass), Jake (drums), and Bella (keyboard and backing vocals), found an undeniable chemistry. From that night on, they decided to channel their camaraderie into something bigger – hence, Jaunty Attack was born.
In the eight years since their inception, the group has built a solid reputation for themselves in the local music scene, consistently delivering energetic and engaging performances. Known for their infectious enthusiasm, their shows are filled with heart-pounding beats, electric melodies, and an overall sense of unity among the band and their audience. The band takes its name “Jaunty Attack” from their lively, audacious, and vibrant approach towards music and performance.

Title:
‘Daylight Dreamer’
Lyrics:
(Verse 1)
Am F
Daylight dreamer, under the sun,
C G
Where are you off to, what have you done?
Am F
Lost in your headspace, chasing the wind,
C G
Wake up, it’s time to let the real world in.
(Chorus)
F C
Oh daylight dreamer, can’t you see,
G Am
Reality is sweeter than the dreams you flee.
F C
Don’t shield your heart, don’t block the pain,
G Am
For it’s the only way, to feel love’s gentle rain.
(Verse 2)
Am F
Daylight dreamer, running so fast,
C G
You can’t outrun shadows, from your past.
Am F
Open your heart, take a chance,
C G
In the dance of life, don’t miss your dance.
(Chorus)
F C
Oh daylight dreamer, embrace the night,
G Am
In the midst of pain, you’ll find the light.
F C
Don’t fear the wounds, don’t fear the scars,
G Am
They’ll make you stronger, they’ll make you who you are.

Testimonial:
“I fell in love with Jaunty Attack the first night I heard them play. Their music, it’s real, it’s genuine, it speaks to the heart. They’ve got a sound that’s both fresh and nostalgic, something that’s hard to come by these days. I’ve seen them grow over the years, and I must say, they just keep getting better. I may be 77, but their music keeps me young. Jaunty Attack isn’t just my favorite band, they’re like family to me.” – Edith
