Mt. Joy On World Cafe

From making songs as a hobby to getting millions of streams on Spotify and performing on national TV, the LA by way of Philly band shares its story.
What if your goal was to just write some good songs? What if you and your longtime friend did that and then went back to your day jobs at a law firm and in the music industry?
