Nashville, Tenn. (April 10, 2008) — Tenth Avenue North shared the stage this
weekend with Christian music headliner, MercyMe. The shows were in Chicago, Ill., Appleton, Wis. and Burlington, Iowa. The
Chicago date was sold-out and the 2,500 people in attendance gave Tenth Avenue North a standing ovation following its 40-minute
set. Following its performance, the band signed autographs for more than an hour.
In addition, the band continues an incredible run at radio this week with “Love Is Here” garnering three new AC Monitored adds
including KGBI in Omaha, Neb., KCMS in Seattle, Wash., and WFSH in Atlanta. “Love is Here” also debuted as a digital single
this week (4/8) and reached the Top 5 on the iTunes Christian Songs chart in less than 48 hours.
Tenth Avenue North will continue its busy road schedule, performing dates leading up to its May 20 release of
Over and Underneath, including opening slots for MercyMe and The David Crowder Band, followed by a busy run of summer festivals.
Tenth Avenue North, Mike Donehey (lead vocalist/acoustic guitar), Jason Jamison (drummer), Jeff Owen (electric guitar/background vocals) and Scott Sanders (bass guitar), have been featuring its brand of intellectual melodic pop-rock on its 21-city promotional tour in support of “Love Is Here” as well as its upcoming album project Over and Underneath. “Simply, our mission as a band is to know Christ and to make him known,” says Donehey. “It’s a grand adventure.”
With one listen to the music of Tenth Avenue North, it becomes obvious that songwriter Mike Donehey and his bandmates have a gift for expressing truth in a way that simultaneously educates, enlightens and entertains. They are as much teachers, as artists, demonstrating this through their intellectual, yet vulnerably accessible songs that echo the heart of the human condition and the hope of the risen Savior.
