Mt. Joy's "Amiable & Soaring" (NPR Music) Self-Titled Debut Out Today

Today, Mt. Joy's "amiable & soaring" (NPR Music) debut album 'Mt. Joy' is out on Dualtone, an Entertainment One company. Deemed "your new folk-rock heroes" by Rolling Stone and selected by NPR as one of their Slingshot Artists for 2018, 'Mt. Joy' -- produced by Jon Gilbert -- stands among 2018's boldest musical breakthroughs and a showcase for Matt Quinn's intuitive, direct songwriting that tackles everything from the vicious cycles of addiction to political calls to action in a post-Trump world.

Watch Mt. Joy perform hit single "Silver Lining," which just broke the Top 20 on the Triple A Radio Charts, during their national television debut on CONAN last month.

Mt. Joy's new video for "Silver Lining" (produced and directed by James Rico) is featured on Spotify's "Rock This" playlist today.

The band are preparing for a busy spring as they embark on a headlining tour, which includes dates in LA and New York, as well as a jam-packed schedule at SXSW. They're set for highly anticipated appearances at Shaky Knees, BottleRock, Innings Festival and more.

In little more than a year as a band, the LA-via-Philadelphia band has racked up over 18 million streams on Spotify, toured with Neko Case, The Shins, Whitney, The Head And The Heart and The Lone Bellow, and performed at Newport Folk Festival, Bonnaroo, Made In America and Lollapalooza.

Buy 'Mt. Joy'.
