American Palm (Deluxe) [Deluxe] (ONLINE ORDER ONLY)

When Niko Moon broke out with his triple-platinum hit GOOD TIME, the Texas-born, Georgia-raised singer/songwriter lit up the country scene with his larger-than-life energy and message of radical positivity. Since then, he's earned a passionate following, major TV performances, and praise from outlets like Holler and American Songwriter. With AMERICAN PALM Deluxe, arriving right before his headline AMERICAN PALM Tour, Niko expands his latest LP with two new tracks, BREATHE and BARE FEET IN THE SAND, furthering his mission of creating music that feels like a mental vacation filled with sun-soaked serenity and coastal escape.Breathe is all about finding that place where you can take a deep breath and let your worries drift away, says Niko. I find peace by the water, and I wanted the song to be a mantra of positive self-talk and a celebration of the coast.Niko partly grew up in Georgia, spending summers on Florida beaches, an influence that shapes the concept-driven AMERICAN PALM. Written during his THESE ARE THE NIGHTS tour with producer Danny Majic and songwriter David J, the record blends coastal soundsukuleles, nylon-string guitars, ocean waveswith organic beats and a touch of 90s hip-hop, nodding to his Atlanta roots. The result is a seaside getaway in album form, equal parts carefree, romantic, and life-affirming.Tracks like I LOVE THIS BEACH and YOU, ME & A BEACH capture that spirit. The latter, a love song linking his wife and the beach as his grounding forces, helped cement the record as his first concept album. SANDBAR delivers a euphoric summer vibe, while SANDCASTLES reflects on lifes impermanence. KING OF THE ISLAND is a family milestoneco-written and sung with his father, Cris Cowan.Nikos journey began early, inspired by his dad, a truck driver and drummer who introduced him to John Prine and Emmylou Harris. Niko picked up drums at eight, guitar at fifteen, and started playing in bars while working construction. A chance encounter with Zac Brown led to songwriting cuts like Homegrown, before Niko launched his solo career with GOOD TIME, a No. 1 hit on both Billboard Country Airplay and Hot Country Songs charts. From the start, he committed to making only positive music: In a way a song is like a mantra, and I want mine to carry optimism and encouragement.Since his debut, Niko has sold out the Ryman, played major festivals like Stagecoach, and performed on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon and Jimmy Kimmel Live!. Beyond music, he and his wife Anna founded the Happy Cowboy Foundation to support mental health and addiction recovery, and launched Happy Himalayan water and the American Palm clothing line, both of which benefit the foundation.Looking ahead to his AMERICAN PALM Headline Tour, Nikos focus remains on connection. Whenever I play a show, I try to give people a mini-vacationsomething to recharge them, he says. Music has the power to unite thousands of people from all walks of life, and I want to use that energy to take people in a positive direction and celebrate life together.
