    “Mt. Joy’s songs unfold like good political speeches: They amble and converse and pulsate fervently until it’s time to get the crowd chanting along.” – NPR
     
     
    Mt. Joy and Maren Morris come together for a rousing rendition of “Highway Queen” out now via Mt. Joy’s own Bloom Field Records  breathing exciting new life into the live favorite just as the band resumes their US tour after headlining Hollywood Bowl and two sold out Red Rocks last month. Listen HERE.
     
    Written on the road by Mt. Joy frontman Matt Quinn, “Highway Queen” is an anthem for the ages about “being in love with someone you see yourself in,” says Quinn who shares a life on the road with his wife who left her town in Brazil at 15 years old. “Living away from home corrals your demons in a specific way, you feel like the only way to outrun them is to keep moving, and it makes being home torturous.” He continues. “It’s something I struggle with, so I know it when I see it in someone else, especially someone I love.”
     
    GRAMMY® winning artist Maren Morris adds “As a touring musician with a heart for the highway, this song felt like I was getting to lament to a lover about keeping up with me, literally and figuratively speaking. I never stay still for long and though I love my solitude and independence, I do hope one day I find that person who can bend with me. I’m such a fan of Mt. Joy, so them asking me to sing this verse made me so happy.”
     
    Starting tonight, Mt. Joy return to the road with their energetic live shows across North America, for a string of sold-out headlining shows, including stops at New York City’s legendary Madison Square Garden on September 28. For more information go to:www.mtjoyband.com
     
    This summer saw the Philadelphia five-piece headline shows at The Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles, Red Rocks Amphitheater, as well as two shared headlining shows at Fenway Park with Noah Kahan. The band’s undeniable musical prowess, live musicianship, and stage presence are steadily catapulting them to become household names, as they fast become one of America’s most beloved live bands.
