Ahead of an epic touring season, Mt. Joy shares their most personal song to date,  “Highway Queen”, self-funded and independently released via the band's own Bloom Field Records in collaboration with Neon Gold Records (Matt Maeson, HAIM, Charli XCX, et. al). The song came to frontman Matt Quinn while touring the country in 2023.

Mt. Joy boasts a catalog defined by their personal lyrics and the ability to reflect life's complexities in their sound. Originating from Philadelphia, the group—consisting of Matt Quinn (vocals, guitar), Sam Cooper (guitar), Sotiris Eliopoulos (drums), Jackie Miclau (keys, piano), and Michael Byrnes (bass) — unveiled their debut album in 2018.

Indie roots rockers, Mt. Joy will play their beloved hometown of Philadelphia on September 20, 2024 when they headline the Mann Music Center in Philadelphia.  Following the success of their 2023 shows at the Mann, the band will again partner with Philadelphia's Sharing Excess to host a non-perishable food drive.

Indie roots rockers, Mt. Joy will play two nights in their hometown at the Mann Music Center August 12th and 13th.  The band has joined forces with Philadelphia’s Sharing Excess to host a non-perishable food drive both nights.

Mt. Joy is the latest band to join the Cola Concerts spring lineup. Mt. Joy will be celebrating the release of their second album, Rearrange Us. The May 15th show adds to a talented lineup for Cola Concerts, which includes shows by Greg Gutfeld (4/18), Jason Isbell & Amanda Shires (4/24), Wynonna Judd (4/25), and Shovels and Rope (5/1).

Mt. Joy is coming to Fair Park in Dallas as part of the Fair Park Drive-In Concert Series on Thursday, October 29 at 8:00 PM. Music fans should prepare to enjoy Mt. Joy and their extraordinary folk-rock sound in a safe and socially distanced outdoor concert set-up inside Lot 8 at Fair Park.

Boston's Independent Radio, 92.5 the River announced Guster will headline the 18th Annual Riverfest Seaside Music Festival.  The 2019 Festival will be held on Sat., August 24, 2019 from 12 noon - 6 pm at its new location at Stage Fort Park in Gloucester, MA.

These dreams are more than paper things," sings Matt Quinn on Mt. Joy's infectious folk-rocker "Astrovan," a warm, yearning bit of road-trip philosophy that posits the existence of a Deadhead Jesus cruising the dusty highways of the countryside, nursing a roach on his way to only He knows where. It's an auspicious line from a band predicated on the revival of teenage dreams.
