Joy spent his summer lighting up several top music festivals such as Chicago's Lollapalooza, Montreal's Osheaga Music and Arts Festival, and San Francisco's Outside Lands Music and Arts Festival.

The track was declared iTunes' "Single of the Week" upon arrival and was also ranked among Spotify's "Top 10 Most Viral Tracks." The single's companion video has surpassed 25 million individual views on YouTube . This fall, Vance will embark on a major headline tour titled the "Dream Your Life Away World Tour 2014" which kicks off today in Dallas.

The airline will also provide an exclusive invitation to several lucky TrueBlue members plus their guests traveling through JFK on the day of the show.
