1) Rhett Whatley, aka Daily Bread, started producing beats from his bedroom in 2014 armed with an MPC, a massive record collection, and a background in jazz guitar. His beat head sensibilities found him crafting unique electro-soul and hip hop tracks that needed to be heard.
After releasing a few tracks online, the project was quickly noticed by the Philos crew, and he soon joined the ranks of several like-minded artists. Inspired by their collaborations, Rhett began work in earnest on his double LP masterwork “On the Daily” and found himself sharing the stage with his influences like Pretty Lights, GriZ, and The Floozies.
Releasing “On the Daily” on Philos in February 2017, Rhett took the Daily Bread project to the Rocky Mountains and spent half the year in Denver soaking up all the electro-soul hub had to offer. Now back in ATL and fresh off the 1 million Spotify plays milestone of his last release “Moreland Ave Blues”, Rhett is using his freshly honed skills to further the Daily Bread sound and bring his unique vision to ears across the globe.
2) Daily Bread, hailing from the northern Netherlands, played 'SEXY GARAGE DANCE'. Freesonica put it this way: “... an exhilarating combination of the raw energy of 60s Garage Rock, the recalcitrant attitude of the Dutch Indie scene and Electro dance grooves”.
Daily Bread was Kimberly van der Velden (leadvocals), Atser Damsma (synths and vocals), Chris Mulder (bass, synths and vocals) and Stefan Stoer (drums). They were based in The Netherlands, with roots in the provinces of Friesland and Flevoland.
The band released two full-length albums: Well, You're Not Invited (2009) and Iterum (2012) plus one EP, a prequel to the second long player, entitled The Present (2012).
The band's début album was released internationally. Daily Bread played major Dutch festivals, including Noorderslag/Eurosonic (three times!) and Lowlands.
In January 2014 the band decided to call it quits.
3) Daily Bread is the house band for New Creation Church in San Jose, California.
Driven by Colby Pollard, the band featuring Charlie Parker, Jay Everson, & Eric Everson, among many others, released their first CD in August 2012.

Daily Bread Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Comin' for to carry me home
There was a band of angels, a-comin' after me
Comin' for to carry me home
Swing low, sweet chariot
Comin' for to carry me home
Swing low, sweet chariot
I'm sometimes up, and I'm sometimes down
Comin' for to carry me home
But but I know my soul is heavenly bound
Comin' for to carry me home
Swing low, sweet chariot
Comin' for to carry me home
Swing low, sweet chariot
Comin' for to carry me home
If you get there before I do
Comin' for to carry me home
Tell all my friends that I'm a-comin' too
Comin' for to carry me home
Swing low, sweet chariot
Comin' for to carry me home
Swing low, sweet chariot
Comin' for to carry me home
And now they're comin' for to carry me home
The lyrics of "Swing Low Sweet Chariot" by Daily Bread are a powerful homage to the theme of liberation and deliverance from the struggles of life. The song begins with the singer gazing across the river Jordan, symbolizing the threshold between earthly life and the afterlife. The singer spots a band of angels coming towards him, ready to take him home, which is an allusion to the concept of being carried to heaven by divine forces. The chorus of the song, which is repeated as a refrain throughout, highlights the fact that the chariot is coming to carry the singer home, emphasizing the theme of liberation.
The second verse continues this theme by talking about the ups and downs of life. The singer says that sometimes they feel up, sometimes they feel down, but their soul is still destined for heaven. This optimistic tone reflects the hope and faith that the singer has in their ultimate deliverance from the struggles of life. The song ends with a call to friends, reminding them that the singer is on their way as well, and that they too will be carried safely to their heavenly home.
