Broken Daisies fuse the soul of classic rock with the depth of modern alternative. Their sound is guitar-driven and melodic, marked by rich harmonies, driving drums, and thoughtful lyrics rooted in conviction, perseverance, and lived experience. With passionate musicianship and an uplifting presence, the band delivers shows that are equal parts soulful and fun. Formed in late 2021, the band celebrated four years together this past December. Their chemistry and shared purpose continue to shape their evolving sound as they work toward their second album, with plans to release a new single each month throughout 2026.
Their Story
Broken Daisies began when drummer and songwriter Jim Petipas brought together a talented circle of musicians—Anthony Freddura (lead guitar), Stephen Kaufmann (bass and saxophone), Ben Knight (keyboard and vocals), and Renato Zeppi (guitar and vocals). What started as a long-held dream soon became a dynamic collaboration rooted in friendship, faith, and a shared desire to create meaningful music. Over time, they’ve grown into a band known for authenticity—writing songs that explore hope, struggle, and redemption through a rock lens.
In The Works
Their self-titled EP, released in August 2024, featured six original tracks plus a live studio recording of “Dear Prudence” by The Beatles. In 2025, they followed up with “Better Man,” co-produced by Tim Bongiovanni (Northgate Studios). The song and its concept video—released July 2025—highlight the band’s guitar-driven energy and lyrical depth, exploring the universal tension between becoming better or growing bitter. With its mix of spiritual honesty and classic alternative rock dynamics, “Better Man” reflects the band’s core message: hope, renewal, and the courage to grow. Looking ahead, Broken Daisies are focused on releasing new songs and videos that continue to inspire and connect with fans across New England and beyond.
Heart for Impact
Beyond their music, Broken Daisies strive to raise awareness for The Exodus Road, a nonprofit organization fighting human trafficking in the U.S. and worldwide. After meeting a representative at a local festival, the band was moved by the organization’s mission to find and free victims, train communities in prevention, and support survivors. They share in the vision of a world where no one is bought, sold, or exploited—living out the same hope and resilience reflected in their music.
