NASHVILLE, Tenn. – Oct. 5, 2017 – Multiple Dove Award winning band Tenth Avenue North has partnered with Compassionn International to present the "Decade The Halls" Tour this Christmas season, with special guests Zach Williams and Meredith Andrews. A holiday treat that brings a whole new meaning to the timelessness of Christmas, the "Decade The Halls" Tour will feature both traditional Christmas favorites and original Christmas songs, each set stylistically in a different decade. Highlighting songs from their upcoming Christmas album, Decade The Halls, Tenth Avenue North will engage audiences with new arrangements that reminisce favorite Christmas tunes while honoring decades like the '20s, '30s and '40s, up to the present.
“It’s a Christmas record and a tour where we basically play songs through the musical genres of the decades,” Tenth Avenue North frontman Mike Donehey says of the idea the band has had for a few years now. “The concert is going to be out of control! There are going to be costume changes, there will be dancing, there will be lights, there will be props, there will be carol singing… it’s going to be magic!”
In addition to many memorable Christmas moments, the “Decade The Halls” Tour will also highlight other hit songs by Tenth Avenue North, as well as favorites by Grammy nominee Zach Williams and popular worship artist Meredith Andrews. Kicking off Dec. 7, in Lansing, Mich., the tour is slated to hit 9 U.S. markets before wrapping up in Ocala, Fla., on Dec. 17. Tickets will be on sale this week in most markets. A special VIP ticket is available which includes a pre-show artist meet & greet with photo op, milk and cookies with the band, and a signed Tenth Avenue North Christmas card.

ABOUT TENTH AVENUE NORTH Tenth Avenue North made their national debut in 2008 with their first RIAA gold certification album Over and Underneath, which spawned the hits “Love is Here,” “By Your Side” and “Hold My Heart.” Tenth Avenue North won the Gospel Music Association Dove Award in 2009 for New Artist of the Year and in 2010 “By Your Side” was named Song of the Year. The band gained further momentum with 2010’s The Light Meets the Dark and The Struggle in 2012, which continued to populate radio and the church with such memorable songs as “Healing Begins,” “You Are More,” “Losing” and “Worn.” In November 2014, the band released their fourth studio project, Cathedrals, with the first radio single “No Man Is An Island.” Their most recent project, Followers, produced the No. 1 song at CHR radio, "What You Want,” and the Top 5 radio hit “I Have This Hope.”
