This tour follows the successful fall leg with more than 53,000 people in attendance, over 1,000 Compassion sponsorships and will continue the message of Tenth Avenue North's studio release, Cathedrals. This album is a collection of songs that inspire community, encourage accountability and celebrate the fact we are not alone. It is this release and idea behind the album that has inspired the title and theme behind the fall and upcoming spring tour.

"We believe that the dwelling place of God isn’t a building. It’s the people," shares frontman Mike Donehey. "With that thinking, there's nowhere that is a 'secular' place; the person's mere presence makes it a sacred place. The idea is to fight the misconception there are ‘spiritual’ jobs and normal jobs in life. Our works don’t make us righteous, but our faith does. And works are a response to that gift. Thus whether you’re a pastor or plumber or lawyer, anything you do can be re-imagined as ministry if you do it to serve others and glorify God. And God’s spirit no longer dwells in buildings, but in us."

Donehey, drummer Jason Jamison, bassist Ruben Juarez, keyboardist Brendon Shirley and guitarist Jeff Owen have forged a unique sound that has made them one of the Christian music’s most successful young bands. In the spring of 2014, Tenth Avenue North crossed the one million mark for records sold and continues to build its strong fan base by achieving more than one million likes on Facebook.

ABOUT TENTH AVENUE NORTH:

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.”
