With over 150+ artists already on the Daydreamer roster, we’re constantly adding artists from the past and present that will resonate with our family of music lovers and daydreamers. Ours is an eclectic graphic-tee universe where you can always find troves of art inspired by music across time and genre. It’s a consistent stream of new graphics to take inspiration from. Our latest drop of new artists encapsulates both that relevance and variety perfectly. Eclectic and cool, they come from across decades to meet us in our cultural moment today.
We’re so thrilled to introduce you (though they need no introduction) to the newest batch of artists to join the already epic Daydreamer roster, adding to our unparalleled collection of vintage-inspired music tees. From the hyper-pop album that defined popular culture this summer, to some of the most influential artists in music history, this collection of music graphic tees is an absolute jackpot of creative inspiration and personal style.
So here is our official welcome to the Daydreamer family: Paul McCartney, John Lennon, The Cranberries, Waylon Jennings, Charli XCX, Beck, and Lenny Kravitz. Here is a bit on what inspires us about each of these groundbreaking artists…
New to the Roster:
Paul McCartney
You know McCartney, you live in a world forever influenced by his art, and now you can celebrate your connection to his music through exclusive t-shirts that encapsulate his legacy. There are few artists in history as iconic as this one. Whether it’s his work with The Beatles or his legendary solo career, McCartney’s influence on music is impossible to overstate. As one of the most celebrated songwriters, bass guitarists, and vocalists of all time, his melodic genius has shaped the soundtrack of generations. His solo career only further solidified his status, pushing boundaries with albums like Band on the Run and McCartney.
That solo career also led him on successful global tours, the first of which was highlighted by bold graphics that inspired our inaugural Paul McCartney merch tee. The graphic on Daydreamer’s Paul McCartney World Tour '89-'90 Merch Tee pays homage to the era when McCartney stepped out on his own, capturing his musical essence in a timeless fashion that’s perfect for any fan of music history and rock and roll t-shirts.
John Lennon
And for our next Beatles legend and cultural icon to make an impact within and beyond his music… we have the one-and-only John Lennon. Lennon left an indelible mark on the world through his music and activism. As a lead vocalist and rhythm guitarist for The Beatles, Lennon helped define the sound of modern music and is remembered for prolific songwriting. His solo career across arts and activism, highlighted by tracks like Imagine and Working Class Hero, established him as a champion for peace, unity, and creative expression.
Our John Lennon New York City Vintage Tee draws inspiration from Lennon’s time in New York, where he embraced the city’s energy and crafted some of his most memorable work. Featuring an iconic photo of Lennon in his NYC tank top, this tee honors the enduring legacy of a musician who forever changed the world of rock and roll.
The Cranberries
Just in time for fall– the cozy, nostalgic vibe of the Cranberries has arrived in key. The iconic Irish rock band has come to be remembered as one of the epitomizing sounds of '90s alternative rock, with hauntingly beautiful vocals and introspective lyrics that defined a generation. Tracks like “Linger” and “Zombie” have recently seen a resurgence in popularity, tapping into the contemporary love of 90s culture. The Cranberries’ fusion of ethereal sounds and grunge undertones remains timeless.
Our The Cranberries Zombie Vintage Tee draws on the artistic intensity of their smash hit, “Zombie,” with a graphic inspired by the song’s grunge-style guitar riffs and shouted vocals. Meanwhile, The Cranberries No Need to Argue Merch Tee pays tribute to their best-selling album, featuring the crew on their iconic sofa—a perfect retro band t-shirt for those embracing 90s band tees.
Waylon Jennings
Waylon Jennings is one of the founding fathers of the Outlaw Country movement, known for his gritty sound and rebellious spirit. Breaking away from the polished mainstream country music of the time- not to mention, the rules of Nashville’s commercial music industry- Jennings carved out his own path, leaving a lasting impact on country music and its future stars. His music was raw, authentic, and unapologetic—just like the image of outlaw country he naturally helped define.
Nodding to both his hometown and his role in coining the Outlaw movement, is The Waylon Jennings Littlefield Texas Weekend Tee and the Waylon Jennings Love Outlaws Merch Long Sleeve in celebration of both his roots and legacy. These tees will resonate with fans of Western-inspired music fashion and those who appreciate Jennings’ rugged, rebellious style.
Charli XCX
The artist who took over pop culture in the summer of 2024 (and now has plans to take hold of autumn)... Charli XCX’s album brat, effortlessly blended hyper-pop with web culture. Her bold and energetic fanbase helped christen the brat movement, making her the definitive artist of the moment. As Charli continues to dominate both the charts and media, her fans can now celebrate being a part of the cultural phenomenon that is brat. To a degree, that iconic brat graphic has become totemic of this moment in time.
That apple green and stretched sans serif font will go on to act as a symbol to the record’s world. Our exclusive Charli XCX t-shirts are a tribute to that movement. They identify their wearer within the brat phenomenon, perfectly complete any Sweat Tour outfit, and will be with you through your hundredth listen of the remix of “Brat and It's Completely Different but Also Still Brat” this fall.
Beck
Ahhh Beck… one of those artists who defies categorization. Bursting onto the 90s alternative scene, he made waves with his genre-blending, lo-fi sounds that brought together elements of rock, folk, hip-hop, and more. His breakout hit "Loser" turned heads in 1993, perfectly capturing the slacker anthem spirit in tandem with the '90s cultural landscape. Beck's ability to shift between genres, with songs like "Where It’s At" mixing funk and electronic beats, to the experimental soundscapes of his later albums, has made him a constantly evolving artist, celebrated for his unpredictable and boundary-pushing approach to music.
One of his most iconic albums, Odelay (1996), was a critical and commercial success, showcasing another dizzying mix of sounds—from rock and folk to punk and hip-hop with singles like “Devils Haircut”. These became defining songs of the decade and made Beck a key figure in the era’s music. The artwork that accompanied his boundary-pushing releases have become coveted emblems of his career and 90s music. Paying tribute to one of the artist’s creative, influential songs with a distressed graphic, Daydreamer released our vintage-inspired Beck Devils Haircut Merch Tee. Meanwhile, our Beck Records Vintage Tee celebrates his larger discography with a retro design inspired by an archival vintage find. For fans of 90s band tees and alternative rock, these pieces make an epic addition to any t-shirt collection.
Lenny Kravitz
And the latest to meet the roster, we’re stoked to welcome Lenny Kravitz to the Daydreamer collection just in time for big scarf season! Kravitz’s music takes on a particular sound by blending rock and R&B genres with several other influences like soul and reggae music, often creating infectious, feel-good tunes that stand the test of time. His unique sound brings life to a musical universe that orbits love and positive energy. Kravitz’s electric live shows are legendary, full of that very intoxicating energy and passion alive in his recorded music.
Our latest introduction, the Lenny Kravitz Universal Love Tour Merch Tee channels the vibrant spirit of his stage, making it a statement t-shirt for any fan of music legends like Kravitz.
With each new addition to the Daydreamer roster, we’re expanding the universe of music-inspired style that connects fans to artists in fresh and meaningful ways. Whether you’re drawn to the timeless rock icons, the boundary-pushing voices of the ‘90s, or today’s pop culture pioneers, these pieces certainly offer loving nods to the music– but also act as an opportunity to express the wearer’s own creative spirit. As always, each tee is thoughtfully designed to celebrate the legacy of these groundbreaking artists while helping you craft a style that’s uniquely yours. We can’t wait to see how you make these pieces your own!
