On the news of the festival and expanded event Niko Moon said: “CHARLESTON
we’re doing it again y’all… TWO back to back nights of nothing but positive music and good vibes
Catch me and some of my favorite artists at The Refinery on May 23 & 24 to kick off Memorial Day Weekend!”
The announcement comes shortly after Niko recently announced his expanded 2026 AMERICAN PALM TOUR dates. The expansion is in celebration of the extraordinary year Niko has had with the recent release of his AMERICAN PALM Deluxe album. The 17 date headline run kicks off January 29, 2026 in Oklahoma City and touches major markets including Dallas, TX, Nashville, TN, Huntington, NY, Boston, MA, Minneapolis, MN and more! See full tour dates below and at www.nikomoon.com.
The expanded tour continues the extension of Niko’s AMERICAN PALM universe – AMERICAN PALM Deluxe featuring two new songs: “Breathe” and “Bare Feet In The Sand.” Fans have resonated particularly with uplifting new single “Breathe,” for its description of finding a place to relax and let your worries slip away so you can, well, breathe! watch the music video for “Breathe” HERE.
On the song Niko said: “‘BREATHE’ is all about that place where you can take a deep breath and let your worries drift away. I find peace when I’m by the water. I wrote this song to be a mantra of positive self-talk and a celebration of the coast.”
The beautiful music video for the track features Niko in his element: by the water in vacation mode. It adds to the already “mental vacation” Niko strived to take listeners on for the AMERICAN PALM album and gives you a sense of calm as it talks about the places that bring you peace.
Born in Tyler, Texas, raised in Georgia, and now based in Nashville, Niko Moon has become one of country music’s most exciting and dynamic voices and biggest advocates for mental health. He first gained recognition co-writing major hits for Zac Brown Band (“Homegrown,” “Beautiful Drug,” “Loving You Easy”) and has penned songs for top artists, including Morgan Wallen and HARDY. In 2020, Moon launched his solo career with the multi-platinum, chart-topping single “GOOD TIME”.
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. The brand recently announced that in less than a year, it has expanded into over 300 retail locations, including Nugget Markets, Raley’s, Stinker Stations, and Kroger stores in the Northeast—with even more exciting placements lined up for 2025 and 2026. To date, Happy Himalayan has sold over 21,900 bottles—each one a step toward a cleaner, happier planet by reducing reliance on single-use plastic. Through his foundation, water brand, and music, Niko aims to inspire others to prioritize well-being and positivity.
