New Album 'The Light Meets The Dark' From Tenth Avenue North
The new album from Tenth Avenue North, titled 'The Light Meets The Dark' is released this week (11th May 2010). The band's debut album 'Over and Underneath' (2008) was exceptionally well received, leading to them earning the New Artist of the Year accolade at the 2009 Dove Awards, and making this follow up album one of the most eagerly awaited releases of 2010.
Produced by Jason Ingram (Producer of the Year 2010 at the Dove Awards), Rusty Varenkamp and Phillip LaRue, the album's first single, 'Healing Begins' has already reached number 2 on the iTunes Christian Songs chart. All this week Tenth Avenue North will be performing at CD release events to celebrate the new album. The band will be talking about the new album, playing a few acoustic live songs and signing copies of the CD at the free events taking place in Arizona, New Jersey and Florida (dates below).
The band consists of Mike Donehey, (lead vocals/acoustic guitar), Jason Jamison (drummer) and Jeff Owen (electric guitar/background vocals). "On this record I really tried to be honest about how messed up I am," Donehey says. "We wanted it to be a collision between our hearts and God's truth. His grace collides with the dark inside of us. His blood can cover us and I'm trying to call people out and say 'Look, please do not hide your darkness. Expose that to the light.' I know that's the scariest thought, but its where freedom and healing starts to take place. It's where it all starts to happen."
