New York, NY (Top40 Charts) The multi-platinum chart-topping band AJR debut the cinematic video for "Touchy Feely Fool" from their fifth studio album, The Maybe Man, released via their own AJR Productions label and Mercury/Republic Records. The video finds Jack Met trapped in a Groundhog Day in a therapist's office, only to be freed when he agrees to face his problems head-on.
To tease their upcoming tour, AJR will perform during the 2024 NHL Stadium Series™outdoor game on Sunday, February 18th at MetLife Stadium. They will perform during the first intermission of the highly anticipated New York Rangers and New York Islanders game. They are set to perform a medley of their biggest hits and tracks from the new album.

The album also includes "God Is Really Real," which is written about their father, Gary Metzger, who tragically passed away last year. The heartfelt song resonated in the hearts of listeners worldwide who had grown to love Gary as an unofficial fourth member of the band. You can hear AJR talk about the song in their recent interview with NPR Morning Edition.

AJR make the kind of music that encourages you to keep going. For as much as their multi-dimensional soundscapes, theatrical delivery, and big screen-worthy vision provide an escape, the multi-platinum, chart-topping trio of brothers—Adam [vocals/bass], Jack [vocals/guitar], and Ryan Met [guitar/piano/vocals]—also manage to intimately empathize with listeners everywhere. The band constructed an inimitable and immersive world soundtracked by a truly alternative vision for pop. Beyond 5 billion streams and counting, the group notched a string of seismic smashes, including "Bang!" (3x-platinum) and "Weak" (3x-platinum), "Burn The House Down" (2x-platinum), and "100 Bad Days" (platinum), "Sober Up" (platinum), and "I'm Ready" (platinum). Following their platinum breakout album The Click [2017], the boys consecutively crashed the Top 10 of the Billboard 200with Neotheater [2019] and OK Orchestra [2021]. Recently, their song "World's Smallest Violin" had a resurgence online with over 2 million video creates on TikTok with over 10 billion combined views between the official sound, original sounds, and sped up versions.
Traveling around the globe with their own version of the Greatest Show on Earth, they've packed arenas on multiple continents, selling nearly 1 million tickets thus far. In addition to earning widespread acclaim, they've ignited late-night television and are composing the score for Harold & the Purple Crayon on Broadway. Their debut album for Mercury Records/Republic Records, The Maybe Man, might just be their most identifiable body of work yet. In true AJR fashion, they came up with a larger-than-life way to explain the existential crisis of growing up and also process and deal with their father's passing. Enter The Maybe Man. The title character is "a big sad superhero who is always questioning who he is." Like a giant out of your favorite fairy tale (remade in kickass 3-D), emotion hangs over his head, so it doesn't have to hang over yours.
