Niko Moon released his new live album last Friday (Jan. 23), AMERICAN PALM: Live from the Road, via Empire. The project was recorded during his “American Palm Tour” last year.

“There’s nothing like being at a live concert, together with a crowd of people singing and celebrating music, community, and most importantly, life,” says Moon. “Music has always been like medicine to me. Like Marley said, ‘When it hits you, you feel no pain.’ This community of people who love music that feeds the soul is like a second family to me. They make me feel like I’m not alone, that I’m understood, and most importantly, accepted. I wanted to capture the American Palm Tour on record so that, in those moments in life when our spirit is calling for the coast, we can all put this album on, get our toes in the sand, and let the worries of life drift away. Let’s go on vacation, y’all!”

The 12 tracks feature some of Moon’s fan favorites live from the road including “I Love This Beach,” “Boat Song,” “Breathe,” and a lively cover of Jimmy Buffett’s “Margaritaville.”

Moon will embark on a 2026 leg of the tour beginning this Thursday (Jan. 29) in Oklahoma City. He will make stops in New Orleans, Tulsa, Boston, Lake Ozark and more. Moon will also host his “Good Time Fest” in Charleston on May 23 and 24 with performances from Uncle Kracker, The Wailers, The 502s, Artika Sound System and more.
