Following the massive success of “Tickets To My Downfall” and “mainstream sellout,” mgk crafts an ode to the outsiders who carve their own paths to self-discovery. “lost americana” honors the art of reinvention. It’s music for the in-between moments, where the past fades and the future is yours to create. Listen to “lost americana” HERE.
mgk has had a massive lead-up to the “lost americana” album release. The GRAMMY-nominated musician recently appeared on The Tonight Show With Jimmy Fallon, where he performed his two singles “outlaw overture” and “vampire diaries” from the album. Earlier this week, mgk hosted an intimate album release underplay pop-up show at Cellar Dog in New York City.
The following day he appeared with Jenna Bush Hagar and Matt Rogers in studio at the Today Show to announce an intimate free road trip across America bringing “lost americana” to fans via underground shows across the country next week.
The renowned superstar eclipsed genre expectations by releasing the widely acclaimed album Tickets to My Downfall in 2020. The platinum album topped the Billboard 200 and became his first No. 1 effort. The album landed 18 tracks on the Hot Rock Songs chart. Platinum singles, “bloody valentine” and “my ex’s best friend,” both went No. 1 at Alternative. His follow-up album, mainstream sellout, became his second album to hit No. 1 on the Billboard 200 and was nominated for a 2023 Grammy Award for “Best Rock Album” and was supported with a sold-out stadium and arena North American and Europe tour. The US leg ended in mgk’s hometown of Cleveland at the Huntington Bank Stadium playing to 50,000 fans, making him the first and only Ohio native to sell out the stadium. Now, with an ever-evolving sound, mgk redefines what it means to be a true multi-genre artist.
