Mandy’s Dreaming was formed in the summer of 2023 when guitarist JR Wills and drummer Nate Hawley met at a party for musicians in Brooklyn and enjoyed each other's playing style so much they decided to meet up and write together. Soon enough, they were playing shows at small venues in New York City and gaining a local following.
In the winter of 2024 Mia Soza joined the two on bass, adding an emotional edge to their sound that made them more of a standout in the New York City indie rock scene. In November of 2025, they released their self titled 4 track EP, which was recorded at Liquid Sounds and mixed and mastered by Slowaves.
The band is looking forward to going on tour with their new EP in 2026.
Mandy's Dreaming is currently playing shows all around New York City as they continue to write new music every week!
