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.
