Mt. Joy
Indie rockers Mt. Joy are continuing to play iconic venues across North America, and will perform at Michigan Lottery Amphitheatre on Friday, June 6 at 8:30 p.m.
The band are coming off selling out New York City’s legendary Madison Square Garden, and releasing three new singles: the rousing “She Wants to Go Dancing,” a new version of their anthemic “Highway Queen” featuring Maren Morris, and a holiday collaboration with The Philly Specials, “Santa Drives an Astrovan.”
The band’s collaboration with The Philly Specials reached #1 on the iTunes Holiday Chart and is a part of the third LP in the holiday trilogy from Jason Kelce, Lane Johnson and Jordan Mailata. Proceeds from album sales go to support Children’s Crisis Treatment Center’s Holiday Toy Drive and Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia Snowflake Station, as well as other Philadelphia based organizations. Mt. Joy recently performed the song with Jason Kelce at a tailgate before an Eagles game, garnering national attention for the charity project.
Mt. Joy just wrapped up an incredible string of sold-out headlining shows across North America, including stops in Philadelphia, Nashville, Chicago, and festival stops at Bourbon & Beyond and Oceans Calling. This summer saw the Philadelphia five-piece headline shows at The Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles, Red Rocks Amphitheater, as well as two shared headlining shows at Fenway Park with Noah Kahan. The band's undeniable musical prowess, live musicianship, and stage presence are steadily catapulting them to become household names, as they fast become one of America’s most beloved live bands.
About Mt. Joy
The Philadelphia and Los Angeles based band – Matt Quinn [vocals, guitar], Sam Cooper [guitar], Sotiris Eliopoulos [drums], Jackie Miclau [keys, piano], and Michael Byrnes [bass] – take their name from the quiet and rural National Park in Southwest Pennsylvania, about four hours from their Philadelphia base. Forming in 2016, they made their mark two years later when their self-titled Mt. Joy (2018) debut album spun off platinum single “Silver Lining,” an uplifting power ballad that went to #1 at AAA radio (Billboard Adult Alternative Airplay) and has eclipsed over 240 million streams across platforms. Their second album, Rearrange Us (2020) drew widespread critical raves, with title track gaining 92 million Spotify streams since the release. Their third LP, Orange Blood (2022), came out of the pandemic and further cemented them with another #1, Lemon Tree, at AAA and a 70-date headline tour that sold over 180K tickets. Over the past five years, Mt. Joy has amassed over half a billion streams and earned acclaim from NPR, Billboard, Rolling Stone, The Line of Best Fit, and more. Throughout their career, the band has performed at a variety of festivals such as Lollapalooza, Austin City Limits and Bonnaroo. Additionally, the band has performed on Stephen Colbert, CBS Morning, Samantha Bee, Seth Meyers, Jimmy Kimmel, and Conan.
