"Tenth Avenue North has a refreshing, melodic pop sound, but it's the depth of [Mike] Donehey's lyrics that is distinguishing it from other new bands."
–
Billboard Magazine "Spend a few minutes talking with Mike Donehey, lead singer of the band Tenth Avenue North, and you'll begin to wonder if he's hiding a concordance up his sleeve. The guy seemingly quotes Scripture with every other sentence. But, he's the real deal; the kind of artist that should have both a microphone and a platform, and Tenth Avenue North's music is a direct reflection of the artist. The depth, and solid spiritual truth, on the band's debut,
Over and Underneath, makes it not just an album of songs, but pure musical discipleship. Two thumbs way, way up!"
-Laurin Makohon, Editor,
YW Magazine

We are excited about the future and honored to stand beside them as they continue to grow."

About Tenth Avenue North
Having started while at Palm Beach Atlantic University (West Palm Beach, Fl) Tenth Avenue North is Mike Donehey (lead vocalist/acoustic guitar), Jason Jamison (drummer), Jeff Owen (electric guitar/background vocals) and Scott Sanders (bass guitar). The group has been featuring its brand of intellectual, melodic pop-rock on a 21-city promotional tour in support of "Love Is Here" and the upcoming album Over and Underneath.
"Simply, our mission as a band is to know Christ and to make him known," says Donehey. "It's a grand adventure."
With one listen to the music of Tenth Avenue North, it becomes obvious that songwriter Mike Donehey and his bandmates have a gift for expressing truth in a way that simultaneously educates, enlightens and entertains. They are as much teachers, as artists, demonstrating this through their intellectual, yet vulnerably accessible songs that echo the heart of the human condition and the hope of the risen Savior.
