Mt. Joy's Debut Single Hits #1 on Triple A Radio
Prepare for UK Debut, Austin City Limits + More Summer Festival Dates / 'Mt. Joy' Out Now on DualtoneFollowing a tenacious 17-week climb - amassing tens of thousands of spins and sticking in the ears of tens of millions of listeners across the country - Mt. Joy's "Silver Lining" has reached #1 on the Triple A Radio charts. Over the past year, the burgeoning new band has surpassed mainstays like Leon Bridges, Florence + The Machine, and Beck for the top spot, delivering on early recognition from NPR and Rolling Stone as an artist to watch.
Mt. Joy are just the 2nd independent band this year to have their debut single go to #1 on the Triple A charts. Hear the anthemic "Silver Lining" live on CONAN: https://youtu.be/7XmwQJc6tII
Mt. Joy's continued 2018 breakout brings them to Austin City Limits, Life Is Beautiful, Bumbershoot, Voodoo, XPoNential, and more on a relentless international tour that's only grown since the March release of their debut LP, 'Mt. Joy' (Dualtone) - full dates below.
In addition to #1 on Triple A, "Silver Lining" has made its Alternative Radio chart debut and surpassed 10 million streams. Listen to Here & Now's recent profile on the LA-via-Philly five-piece's unexpected, thoroughly modern rise: https://wbur.fm/2KLrrcP
