"We couldn't decide what era to emulate when recording this album," shares Mike Donehey. "There's so many beautiful Christmas songs that span so many decades and genres, we decided to do all of them. Also we wanted to make something that might actually hold our attention. It's easy to get bored with an album, particularly a Christmas record when you're already familiar with so many of the songs. We feel this keeps the listener engaged and full of wonder. What's the next song gonna sound like?"

The band will be taking this concept album on the road in December with Zach Williams and Meredith Andrews. Tour dates and ticket information can be found at tenthavenuenorth.com/tour. Compassion International present "Decade The Halls" tour will feature the stylistically different songs with full wardrobe changes to coincide with the different decade for a memorable holiday event. See the promo video below about the special holiday tour.
