Known for their blistering live performances, Mike and the Moonpies kicked off the new year with their most ambitious and successful tour schedule to date. The quintet made back-to-back festival appearances at The MusicFest (Steamboat Springs, CO) and Mile 0 Fest (Key West, FL) followed by an extensive run along the East Coast including near-capacity stops in Washington, DC; New York, NY; Philadelphia, PA; Winston-Salem, NC; Richmond, VA; Orlando, FL and many more.

In September, the band will hit a milestone when they make their debut performance to a sold-out crowd at Nashville's iconic Ryman Auditorium with Jason Boland & The Stragglers and Reckless Kelly.

This spring, fans across the pond will have the opportunity to catch Mike and the Moonpies on their long-awaited European tour. Their international dates include an 18-city run that kicks off on April 1 in Newcastle, UK with additional performances in London, UK, Switzerland, Netherlands, Sweden, Norway, Switzerland and Germany.

Mike and the Moonpies, which features Mike Harmeier (vocals, guitar); Zachary Moulton (steel guitar); Omar Oyoque (bass); Taylor Englert (drums) and Catlin Rutherford (guitar), released their eighth studio album 'One To Grow On in August 2021. Produced by Adam Odor, the nine-song collection was co-written by Harmeier and Odor and includes guest appearances from members of Quaker City Nighthawks, Shooter Jennings and Shiny Soul Sisters.

Following the breakthrough success of previous albums 'Steak Night at the Prairie Rose,' 'Cheap Silver & Solid Country Gold' (an album inspired by the classic "countrypolitan" hits of the early 1970s, recorded at Abbey Road Studios with help from the London Symphony Orchestra) and 'Touch of You: The Lost Songs of Gary Stewart', Mike and the Moonpies have earned critical praise from national and international press and radio outlets such as NPR, Rolling Stone Country, American Songwriter, Saving Country Music, The Boot, Sirius XM, BBC and more.
