Honored at this year’s GMA Dove Awards as the industry’s New Artist of
the Year, Tenth Avenue North gears up for its first headlining tour
launching on Sept. 3. Special guests include singer/songwriter Audrey
Assad (EMICMG) and worship leader Brenton Brown (Survivor/Kingsway).
While a full list of markets and venues have not yet been released, the
“Inside and In Between” tour has been confirmed in five major cities
including Indianapolis, Ind.; Omaha, Neb.; San Antonio, TX; Houston, TX
and Washington, DC.
“I’m unbelievably excited about this tour and the artists that we have
coming out with us. Brenton and Audrey are deep thinkers and
compassionate souls. Our hope with this tour is that people would
encounter truth, and be moved and changed by that truth,” shares Mike
Donehey, Tenth Avenue North. “We want this to be a place and time that
people can experience community, and hopefully, walk away with a deeper
understanding of the gospel.”
“We are excited about Tenth Avenue North’s first headline tour this
Fall,” shares Kevin Huffman, TCAA/Paradigm. “With them being a part of
larger tours over the past year, many fans have only become familiar
with the band’s music. This time out, audiences will get to experience
more of what the band is about at its core. They’ll really get to hear
the heart behind Tenth Avenue North.”
Earlier this year Tenth Avenue North performed on the “Rock &
Worship Road Show” with MercyMe, Jeremy Camp, Hawk Nelson and Addison
Road. With almost 170,000 in attendance at the shows and nearly 75,000
people watching online, Tenth Avenue North was given a huge platform to
share its message of hope.
“We had the opportunity to work with Tenth Avenue North on the ‘Rock
& Worship Roadshow’ this Spring and were very impressed with the
band’s art and ministry. As result of that experience we jumped at the
chance to be involved in Tenth Avenue North’s headlining Fall Tour,”
offers Jacob Reiser, Rush Concerts promoter.
Tenth Avenue North got its tour name from the very moving, “Times” from
its Over and Underneath project. The lyric says: “My love is over,
it’s underneath, it’s inside, it’s in between,” as it speaks of
Christ’s love for us. According to Mike Donehey, lead vocalist for
Tenth Avenue North, the “Inside and In Between” tour is designed “to
remind people of the audacious grace and impenetrable love offered to
them through Jesus Christ. If people can get that, then this tour will
have been a success.”
Tenth Avenue North’s breakout single “By Your Side” remains the second
most played single on the Billboard’s National Chart this week, one
full year after its release to radio. The new single “Hold My Heart”
jumped from No. 26 to No. 22 at AC Monitored and broke into the Top 25
at AC Indicator this week.
