The Philadelphia and Los Angeles based band—Matt Quinn [vocals, guitar], Sam Cooper [guitar], Sotiris Eliopoulos [drums], Jackie Miclau [keys, piano], and Michael Byrnes [bass]— take their name from Mt. Joy in Valley Forge National Park, an area right outside of where Quinn and Cooper are from in Philadelphia. Forming in 2016, the band made their mark two years later when their self-titled, Mt. Joy, debut album spun off platinum single "Silver Lining," an uplifting power ballad that went to #1 at AAA radio and has eclipsed over 300 million streams across platforms. Their second album, Rearrange Us, drew widespread critical raves, with the title track gaining 100 million Spotify streams since the release. Their third LP, Orange Blood, came out of the pandemic and further cemented them with another #1, Lemon Tree, at AAA.
