New York, NY (Top40 Charts) Philadelphia and Los Angeles-based band Mt. Joy has released their new project, Live at The Salt Shed (via Dualtone), recorded over four sold-out nights at the famed Chicago, IL venue to celebrate New Year's 2024. The album is out digitally on all services, with a 3xLP vinyl set available for pre-order. The video for fan-favorite track "Bathroom Light (Live at The Salt Shed)" is out now.
The band is gearing up to play select festivals and their biggest headline shows to date, including Madison
Square Garden, The Hollywood Bowl, and 2 nights at Red Rocks Amphitheatre (full dates below).
Mt. Joy - 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 the 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 critics and fans. Throughout their career, the band has performed at a variety of festivals, such as Lollapalooza, Austin City Limits, and Bonnaroo.
