The American Hotel System

The American Hotel System is a rock band from Grand Rapids, Michigan that aims to provoke the mind through heartfelt lyrics and intentional musicality. Opening for Bon Jovi in 2022, their powerful sound has resonated with audiences and garnered attention from Relix Magazine, BuzzMusic, CLOUT, and LEVELUP. As two-time Music Prize finalists and Grand Champions of Music Prize 2022, they stand as a dynamic force, pushing the boundaries of contemporary rock.

Their journey saw early successes with EPs like "A Search for Sunken Truth, Vol. 1" and "Vol. 2." The pandemic birthed reflective projects like the folk-laden "Postcards EP." In the midst of chaos, their sophomore album, "Interrobang," emerged – a tapestry of rhetoric woven with mid-century Americana and pulp influences, showcasing their resilience like a phoenix rising to move forward to a new beat.

With over 1 million streams, a top 3 album on WYCE 88.1FM in 2023, and the coveted title of Grand Champions of Music Prize 2022, The American Hotel System's impact is resonating with contemporaries and listeners alike. Under the guidance of SONO Music Group and Universal Music Group, they've become a force to be reckoned with.

With critics comparing them to luminaries like Switchfoot and The Fray, their sound is versatile yet distinct with keystones of catchy melodies and relatable messages. Their transformative power and meaningful lyrics resonate deeply, earning them accolades and recognition. The latest chapter in their diverse discography, the EP "Can You Hear It?" (released on 11/17/23), is a sonic canvas painting emotions and experiences with the precision of a master.
