WOMAN-FOUNDED, WOMAN-OWNED, WOMAN-OPERATED: THE STORY OF DAISY ROCK
Thanks for joining us in celebrating our 25th Anniversary!
Combining a lifelong passion for making music with a desire to “level the playing field” for dedicated girl guitarists and bassists of all ages, Tish Ciravolo founded Daisy Rock Guitars in 2000. Ciravolo’s dream that “every girl who wants to play guitar is welcomed and inspired to do so” is centered on the love she has for her two daughters, Nicole and Sophia.
In a sense, Ciravolo’s daughter Nicole is the true visionary behind Daisy Rock. When Nicole was a year and a half old, she drew a picture of a daisy, and Tish was inspired to draw a neck on it. “I wanted to turn it into a guitar to create a better experience for her in the music industry. Maybe one day she could walk into a music store and feel like she was welcome to be part of this club, this culture, this awesome community of guitarists—regardless of gender. A community that I never felt welcomed into while being a musician in the ‘80s and ‘90s. This was my chance—my duty—to change the culture and provide her and all girls with a better, more inviting experience.”
Over two decades later, Daisy Rock had a legacy that lasted long after production was halted. Tish still got messages constantly asking about new guitars. She saw counterfeits be sold on eBay over and over again, and she knew the demand was still there after all these years.
Twenty five years after Tish’s daughter drew the daisy that started it all, that same daughter stepped up to help her run the company. Daisy Rock was an idea that began as a love letter from mother to daughter – it only makes sense that it’s now become a family business. As a company that has always been about breaking the gender barrier in music, Daisy Rock looks forward to continuing that mission by adding some sparkle for anyone seeking it.
