Mt. Joy 2026: Celebrating 10 Years of Mt. Joy

On September 11, 2026 at Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Ottawa, Mt. Joy marks ten years on the road with a set built around the songs that shaped the band since its 2016 beginnings in Philadelphia. Led by songwriters Matt Quinn and Sam Cooper, and completed by Michael Byrnes, Jackie Miclau and Sotiris Eliopoulos, the quintet threads indie rock and folk rock with a light psych hue, pairing melodic guitars and vivid keyboards with Quinn’s narrative vocals.

Celebrating 10 Years of Mt. Joy revisits key moments without museum vibes: the group stretches and reimagines its catalogue on stage, with longer sections and interplay between guitars, keys and rhythm. The set moves from the early online breakout Astrovan to tracks drawn from the self-titled 2018 debut, Rearrange Us (2020) and Orange Blood (2022), mapping a decade where pop writing meets americana shades and jam-band tendencies. Expect a fluid, decade-spanning show that leans on dynamics, storytelling and the elastic energy that has taken the band from clubs to major festivals.
