FOLLOWING STAGECOACH MAINSTAGE BREAKOUT PERFORMANCE AND FORTHCOMING US TOUR, NIKO CONTINUES HIS MISSION OF “POSITIVITY WITH PURPOSE,” HOSTING INAUGURAL GOOD TIMERS EVENT IN CHARLESTON IN HONOR OF MENTAL HEALTH AWARENESS MONTH
Friday May 2. Floating somewhere in the ocean…. Niko Moon, multi-platinum country artist, takes us on a mental vacation with his breezy new single, “BOAT SONG,” set to instantly increase boat sales in the United States and poised to become an ultimate summer anthem of 2025. Available everywhere now, listen HERE via EMPIRE.
Overflowing with country guitars and slick beats that sway like palm trees in the summer breeze, this laid back coastal banger was co-written by Niko and continues his tradition of crafting good time music that radiates optimism with a message.
“I was talking to a fan while out on tour and they said, ‘Man, you make the best boat songs.’ That line stuck with me,” stated Niko, adding, “As a songwriter, you live for those little sparks in everyday conversation-and as an artist, I don’t think there’s a better compliment than being the music someone plays out on the water. That’s where the memories happen, the energy’s light, and everyone’s just feeling good. So when we started writing this one, we made sure it lived up to that kind of moment.”
The track release follows a breakout performance at Stagecoach festival where Niko performed on the mainstage, and played the song to enraptured fans. For a full list of tour dates, news and announcements, please visit www.nikomoon.com
Born and raised in Tyler, Texas, and later relocated to Georgia, Niko Moon has established himself as one of country music’s most exciting and dynamic new voices. He first gained recognition as a co-writer for the Zac Brown Band, contributing to hits like “Homegrown,” “Beautiful Drug,” and “Loving You Easy.” He has also written songs for other major artists including Morgan Wallen, HARDY, and more. In 2020, Niko broke out as a solo artist with his multi-platinum single “Good Time,” which topped the country charts and became an anthem for good vibes.
Following his THESE ARE THE DAYS EP earlier this year, Niko recently released his highly anticipated THESE ARE THE NIGHTS EP, a four-song collection that reflects the magic of life’s simple joys and the energy of life on tour. Tracks like “MONEY CAN’T BUY” and “SUMMER DON’T GO” highlight Niko’s signature blend of positivity and storytelling.
Off stage, Niko and his wife, Anna, co-founded the Happy Cowboy Foundation, which supports mental health initiatives and addiction recovery programs. Niko is also the founder of Happy Himalayan, a premium artesian water brand infused with pink Himalayan sea salt, designed to promote health, wellness, and hydration. Through his foundation, water brand, and music, Niko aims to inspire others to prioritize well-being and positivity.
Niko is currently out on the road for his These Are The Nights Tour, bringing his uplifting live show to fans across the country. This May, he’ll also host the inaugural Good Timers event in Charleston, a family-friendly day of music, yoga, food trucks, and community connection in honor of Mental Health Awareness Month.
