Press Release

Acclaimed Platinum-selling artist Tenth Avenue North announced their return to touring with their highly anticipated "Invited Tour." Inspired by their new single "Invited" (currently climbing the radio charts), the tour will see the band share music from this exciting new season, as well as fan favorites. 

"After a four-year hiatus, we are back and better than ever," founding member and frontman Mike Donehey said. "With some new songs and some new players, we are ready to lose our voices with you. Come join us on the ‘Invited Tour,’ hitting stops nationwide this fall."

With over two decades of nearly 2 million albums sold, multiple Dove Awards, a Platinum and multiple Gold-certified singles, Tenth Avenue North sensed that God had something else in store for them. A farewell tour was planned in 2020, but disrupted by the global pandemic. The four years following the break sharpened the band's focus, and God used what they thought was an end to create room for them to experience him in a new way. Releasing new music and the upcoming tour, Tenth Avenue North is ready to get on the road, bringing along new artist Natalie Layne.

Donehey added, "We’re beyond thrilled to announce we are bringing new rising star Natalie Layne with us. We caught her set at a festival last year and were blown away by her musical prowess and captivating personality. We guarantee these will be unforgettable nights of new Tenth music and classic Tenth songs you’ve come to love."

Tickets are on sale now by visiting the band's site. "The Invited Tour" will feature more than 20 dates and is presented by Compassion International. Local dates include Oct. 5 in Hamburg and Oct. 6 in Rochester.

More about Tenth Avenue North

Tenth Avenue North started in 2000 when Donehey, Jason Jamison and Bryan Homan met at Palm Beach Atlantic University in Florida. Since their acclaimed national debut album, “Over and Underneath,” Tenth Avenue North’s career has been built one hit song at a time thanks to radio and streaming favorites “Love is Here,” “By Your Side,” “Worn,” “I Have This Hope” and “Control (Somehow You Want Me).” In four independent albums, eight studio albums, three EPs, a live album, and countless live shows, Tenth Avenue North has used music to explore the depth and breadth of the human condition and God’s enduring love.

Now Tenth Avenue North is returning after a four-year hiatus with a few new faces, the same passion for using music to foster connection, spread joy, and share grace, and new music that picks up right where they left off. Their latest single, “Invited," is receiving a warm welcome from fans, Christian radio, and streaming, with the message that everyone is invited, and everyone has a seat at the table.
