ABOUT
The Science Museum of Long Island (SMLI) is thrilled to announce the annual Live at Five Outdoor Concert Series, featuring five events on 5/11, 5/25, 6/8, 7/13 and 8/10. The Live at Five series has been a catalyst of positive change and cornerstone to SMLI’s fundraising efforts over these past two years. Re-building our membership base and reinvigorating our long-standing connections and service to our community, attracting 250-500+ attendees to each event.
The joy in the air is palpable as guests of all ages come together on the Great Lawn of the Leeds Pond Preserve to enjoy live music, tasty food and drinks, explore our walking trails, connect with nature, and engage in experiential science activities with SMLI’s friendly and energetic staff who bring science to life for hundreds of children each day. All while partaking in some good old-fashioned fun while watching the sun set over Manhasset Bay.
Last year, we proudly continued to highlight and support local artists, fellow nonprofit organizations, and added a Live at Five Market which introduced more vendors and local businesses to the fold, along with some limited edition Live at Five merchandise.
As we enter the third year of production, there is more we’d like to do and provide to enhance the experience for our guests including a talented line up of opening acts, alternative transportation options, more experiential based activities and most importantly, finding new and innovative ways to make these events more sustainable and environmentally friendly.
We need your help to optimize this already amazing community event! Please consider becoming a Live at Five Sponsor!
With success comes new financial, administrative, and professional challenges. Your continued support allows us to continue hosting these truly extraordinary community event series. SMLI is at an exciting turning point, and we hope you will join us in shaping its future!
ABOUT DAISY THE GREAT:
As Daisy the Great, Kelley Nicole Dugan and Mina Walker make folk-inflected indie rock that spans a multitude of moods—capable of being clever, devastating, or both simultaneously, spanning harmony-laden folk pop to powerhouse indie rock balladry—and has attracted quite the following as a result. Kelley and Mina met as acting majors at NYU’s Tisch School of the Arts, and eventually bonded during a sketch comedy class where they first connected over their mutual passion for music: “We’d both written music on our own in the past, and we ended up writing this silly song together in that class that clued us into the idea that we might want to collaborate on other projects together as well,” Kelley remembers. 2017 saw Daisy the Great make an auspicious debut with “The Record Player Song,” which quickly proved an immediate smash now boasting over 20M worldwide streams and multiple viral moments on TikTok. A full-length debut LP, I’m Not Getting Any Taller, arrived in 2019, followed in 2020 by the quarantine-born Soft Songs EP. Having now grown into a full six-piece band currently featuring Matt Lau on guitar, Bernardo Ochoa on bass, Matti Dunietz on drums, and Brie Archer on additional vocals, Daisy the Great first heralded ALL YOU NEED IS TIME earlier this year with the dazzling “Glitter." Hailed by Atwood Magazine as “a dreamy, inspiring alternative anthem to let our light shine,” the track is joined by an official music video – directed and edited by Dugan and Walker. It’s a freeing thoughtfulness that defines Daisy the Great’s music, as well as their creative mission. “Our music is generally pretty introspective, and we are often interested in the complexities or ironies we see within ourselves” she states. “That’s something we love about writing—you can say something small and delicate and true that maybe feels scary to say, but once you put it out there, it can turn into a comfort for anyone that might also be feeling that way.”
