Mt. Joy Tickets

The alternative rock band Mt. Joy, which blends together blues, Americana and folk music, was created by longtime childhood friends Matt Quinn and Sam Cooper. They chose the name Mt. Joy based on a mountain in Valley Forge National Park close to their Philadelphia homes. Heavily inspired by the folk traditions and popular rock scene of the 1960s and 1970s, the band cites

Paul Simon

,

Bob Dylan

and

The Grateful Dead

as major influences. The unique synergy between the band members is evident in its music and live performances.

More Than Paper Things

Childhood friends Matt Quinn and Sam Cooper shared some of the same musical ambitions while growing up together in Philadelphia. After briefly going their separate ways, they met up in Los Angeles and began writing music in 2016. The result of their collaboration was the critically acclaimed single Astrovan about the importance of pursuing one's dreams. Quinn was still working a full-time job and attending night classes when the song became an unexpected hit. He put aside everything to pursue a musical career with Mt. Joy. After the size of the band grew to five people, Mt. Joy was invited to play at the

Made in America Festival

and the

Newport Folk Festival

. The band also appeared as an opening act for

The Shins

,

The Revivalists

,

The Head and the Heart

and more. The same year, Mt. Joy released the single Silver Lining, which reached No. 1 on the Adult Alternative chart. The success of the song led to a late-night appearance on Conan O'Brien's show. This whirlwind first year finally culminated with the release of the band's self-titled debut album in 2018. The band's next single, Jenny Jenkins, reached No. 5 on the Adult Alternative chart. On the 2018 festival circuit, Mt. Joy performed at the

Life Is Beautiful Festival
