MARONEY CURRENTLY
IN THE MIDST OF U.S. HEADLINE ‘ALL ABOARD’ TOUR
Rising indie rock singer-songwriter Briston
Maroney has released a live acoustic video of current single “Paradise”
(watch here). Directed by frequent collaborator Joey
Brodnax, the video was filmed at Brooklyn Bowl Nashville –
the site of Maroney’s upcoming 2-night Paradise Festival, set
for November 3rd + 4th. First announced
in July, the festival was conceived and curated by Maroney himself, and will be
presented in collaboration with local organizations; he will also headline both
nights of the weekend (tickets on sale here).
Raised
between Knoxville and Florida, and now currently based in Nashville, TN,
Maroney has helped to cultivate the city’s young and vibrant alternative/indie
music scene. Fans and friends who began singing along to his early songs at
house shows can look forward to the unique and celebratory homecoming his
headline sets at Paradise Festival will be.
Maroney
will share the stage with his hand-selected lineup of peers, including Indigo
DeSouza, The Greeting Committee, Sunflower Bean, Annie
DiRusso, Cece Coakley, and Canvasback labelmates MICHELLE.
As previewed in today’s “Paradise” video, both nights will feature a photo
booth, carnival games, and specialty drinks, while VIP tickets will even grant
fans the opportunity to bowl with the band.
“…infectious…” –
V MAGAZINE
“…confessional,
feel-good music that gets to the heart of being human…” – THE
LINE OF BEST FIT
“’Paradise,’ the
song, is a fitting sample of the type of fun fans can expect at the fest… the
rousing pop-rock track envisions a life free of mundanities… Maroney hollers on
the shiny chorus.” – CONSEQUENCE OF SOUND
“Paradise”–
out now via Canvasback Music/Atlantic Records (buy/stream the single here) – arrived to significant critical acclaim in
July, with V Magazine declaring, “The song starts
with a bang, a joyful explosion of drums and guitars, and never slows
down” and Consequence of Sound proclaiming, “the
rousing pop-rock track envisions a life free of mundanities… Maroney hollers on
the shiny chorus.”
Written by Maroney and
produced by Andrew Sarlo (Big Thief, Bon Iver, Dijon), with
additional production by Julian Cruz (Dominic Fike, Kenny
Mason, Ambar Lucid), the song has been streamed over 1.8 million
times so far.
Maroney
is currently in the midst of his headline ‘All Aboard’ US fall tour,
which includes upcoming stops in Pittsburgh and Toronto and appearances at
Delaware’s Firefly Festival on September 22nd and Southern
California’s Ohana Music Festival on October 2nd.
“What’s better than a new single
from Nashville singer, songwriter, and guitarist Briston Maroney? Well, a new
single, music video, and music festival for starters… The new track arrives
just in time for summer, racing forward with an unbridled sense of optimism,
evoking the very essence of carpe diem… ‘Paradise’ feels like an apt reminder
to live life to its fullest…” – ONES TO WATCH
“…one of the most
exciting voices in alternative folk-rock… the festival looks to provide
thoughtfully curated tunes and feel-good indie fun… it’s one to mark on the
calendar for sure!” – NUANCE
Earlier this summer, he played standout sets to crowds at Bonnaroo and Outside Lands, shortly after serving as support on select dates of 2022 tours for both Jack White and Rainbow Kitten Surprise.
“Paradise” follows Sunflower: Deluxe, an extended version of Maroney’s 2021 full-length debut Sunflower. That project included new tracks such as “The Kitchen” – heralded by V Magazine as “infectious” – and reworks of original album tracks including “Bottle Rocket,” featuring Manchester Orchestra, and “Cinnamon,” featuring alt-pop singer-songwriter Genevieve Stokes.

After a childhood spent between Tennessee and
Florida, 24-year-old recording artist Briston Maroney landed in Nashville and
developed a style steeped in the sweat and scrappy sounds of the city's DIY
house parties, winning over fans one living room at a time.
Maroney’s 2018 EP Carnival –his take on the modern coming-of-age story and debut for Canvasback Music/Atlantic Records – amassed millions of streams, is highlighted by RIAA-Gold certified track “Freakin' Out On The Interstate,” and opened the door to tours with Wallows and Liz Cooper. The following year saw the release of Indiana, lauded by such tracks as “Fool’s Gold” (later featured on fellow Nashvillian Taylor Swift’s hugely popular Apple Music “Playlist by ME!”).
Indiana was met with
wide-ranging critical acclaim, with PAPER praising the EP for its “mixture of
absolute tension and mounting significance” and NPR applauding his “buoyant guitar-pop” and “taut,
hooky romanticism.” Indiana was ultimately cited on a
number of 2019 “Best Of” lists, including Consequence of Sound, Vulture, and PAPER. At the top of 2020, Maroney released his third
EP Miracle, heralded by “Chattanooga” and “The Garden”
which Consequence of Sound declared “refreshingly raw.”
Briston released his full-length debut Sunflower in 2021, which earned critical acclaim from
Billboard, NME and more, had a sold out accompanying tour, and has amassed 40+
million streams. Earlier this year, Maroney released Sunflower: Deluxe,
which includes “Bottle Rocket” featuring Manchester Orchestra, as well as a
rework of album track “Cinnamon” featuring alt-pop singer-songwriter Genevieve
Stokes.
