The Freddy Jones Band has reached a new milestone that quite literally extends beyond this world. Today, NASA selected the band’s song “In a Daydream” as the official wake-up music for the Artemis II crew on Flight Day 3, marking a historic moment where the band’s music was broadcast to astronauts traveling toward the Moon. According to NASA’s mission update, the crew was awakened with“In a Daydream” as they prepared for key mission operations, including trajectory correction maneuvers and continued lunar approach procedures. This tradition of playing music to start the astronauts’ day has long been a symbolic and motivational part of human spaceflight and now includes the Freddy Jones Band in its legacy. “This is one of those moments you dream about as a musician, but never quite imagine happening,” said Marty Lloyd, lead vocals and guitar for the Freddy Jones Band. “The idea that our music is part of America’s journey to the Moon – literally soundtracking a moment in human history – is incredibly humbling. ‘In a Daydream’ has always been about escape, reflection, and possibility… and now it’s traveled farther than we ever could have imagined.” Rich Ross, longtime member and bassist states that the song has always been historic for us and we know it’s one of the main reasons that people have come to see the band for over 30 years. Marty Lloyd echoed the sentiment: “It’s surreal. You spend your life making music hoping it connects with people, and then one day you find out it’s being played in space. That’s unreal. We’re beyond grateful to NASA and the Artemis II crew, this is something we’ll carry with us forever.” The Freddy Jones Band, known for their signature sounds from the 90s and current sound of alternative rock has built a loyal following over decades of touring and recording. This recognition by NASA introduces their music to an entirely new frontier, cementing their place in a moment of cultural and scientific significance.
