Days Awake is an American rock band from Asbury Park, New Jersey. Collectively, they were the recipients of eleven Asbury Music Awards.
Days Awake appeared at The Saint in Asbury Park for two well attended reunion shows on 4 November 2008 and 6 April 2009. Days Awake also reunited for a night on stage at the House Of Independents on 30 September 2016. The 13 song setlist brought the band out of retirement after nearly 7.5 years.
In the Summer of 2006, Days Awake was selected among hundreds of amateur bands by Perry Farrell as one of America's best 20 live performers. However, the band withdrew honorably from the contest in the final week of preliminary voting, citing apparent unfair voting practices via internet bots as being contrary to the spirit of the contest.
From November 2006 through April 2007, core members of the Days Awake band performed a number of special appearances in Asbury Park and New York City together with lead vocalist Rick Barry.
Members of Days Awake performed multiple shows with Lance Larson in 2006 and 2007. They were involved in the recording of his album, Song for a Soldier, which was released in 2007.
