New York, NY -- (July 21, 2008) – The Agency for the Performing Arts (APA) proudly announces the signing of Rounder Records’ recording band Ten Shekel Shirt to their Nashville based music division. Ten Shekel Shirt’s album Jubilee will hit stores nationwide on August 19th. Lamont Hiebert, the lead singer and songwriter of Ten Shekel Shirt, describes himself as an artist and an abolitionist. As an artist, he’s a gifted singer, songwriter and bandleader who evokes comparisons from Snow Patrol to Coldplay to Peter Gabriel for his richly textured music, emotive singing and thoughtful lyrics and who’s already sold 150,000 copies of his first two albums.

The band’s first single from Jubilee, “Spark” is currently being worked to Christian CHR and A/C and in August will be taken to AAA as well.

Mark Guynn, Head of the Christian Division for APA states, “To have the opportunity to work with an artist of Lamont’s caliber while at the same time helping further the cause of his Love146- anti-human trafficking organization, is like a ‘perfect storm’ of career and spiritual gratification all at once!”

With major offices in Beverly Hills, New York and Nashville, APA is one of the largest full service talent/literary agencies in the U.S., representing top artists in all genres of music, as well as theater, movie, and literary clients.
