Mt. Joy

# Mt. Joy Since 2016, Mt. Joy has evolved from ambitious upstarts into one of America's most commanding live acts, building their reputation through relentless touring and an uncompromising commitment to organic growth. The five-piece—Matt Quinn (vocals, guitar), Sam Cooper (guitar), Jackie Miclau (keys), Sotiris Eliopoulos (drums), and Michael Byrnes (bass)—blend rock, alternative, blues, and folk into a sound that feels both rooted and expansive, anchored by Quinn's visceral songwriting and the band's telepathic stage presence. Across three critically acclaimed albums (2018's *Mt. Joy*, 2020's *Rearrange Us*, and 2022's *Orange Blood*), the band refined their craft through years of grueling road work, earning the trust of audiences city by city. That foundation paid dividends in 2024 when Mt. Joy sold out some of North America's most prestigious venues—Madison Square Garden, Red Rocks, The Greek—moving over 180,000 tickets across a 70-date headline tour that spanned North America and Europe. The band's fourth LP, *Hope We Have Fun*, captures the emotional weight of their journey: a record born from years of sacrifice, brotherhood, and the kind of hard-won success that only comes from showing up, night after night, with something genuine to say.
