Keep an eye out for the band Mt. Joy and their folk-inspired song “Highway Queen“. The song was self-funded and independently released through the band’s own label, Bloom Field Records, in collaboration with Neon Gold Records (known for acts such as Matt Maeson, HAIM, Charli XCX, and others). This summer, Mt. Joy will be opening up for Noah Kahan.

Matt Quinn talks about ‘Highway Queen’, “The song is about being in love with someone you see a bit of yourself in. My wife is from Brazil but left home when she was 15 to chase a dream and had success that has kept her away from home and moved her all over the world ever since. Living away from home corrals your demons in a specific way, you feel like the only way to out run them is to keep moving, and it makes being home torturous. It’s something I personally struggle with so I know it when I see it in someone else, especially someone I love. Now we share a home together and I hope this song can represent a reminder that we have each other to work through it all and hopefully the rest of our lives to figure it out at whatever pace we need.”
