Tenth Avenue North Farewell Show

Last week on a post about Mike Donehey's new EP, we talked about the retirement of Tenth Avenue North and how the pandemic cut short their farewell tour. Well, last week Tenth Avenue North shared some exciting news regarding their final shows together as a band. The band is planning a two-night epic live event from a large church in Orlando, FL on April 22nd and April 23rd at 7:30pm ET. 

Hey friends,

A year ago we hit the road on what we didn’t know would be a farewell tour when we planned it, and certainly didn’t know a pandemic was going to descend upon us when we started it.

But here we are. A year has passed, and even though the whole world shut down, you’ve been so patient and supportive, hoping and praying, along with us, that we’d get to gather and sing together in person one more time.

So, we are beyond stoked to let you know we’ve decided to do two final shows in a large church in Orlando – one night storytelling power acoustic, and the next night will be a full on rock show.

The best part – the entire band will be back together again. Jeff, Ruben, Jason, Brendon, and myself (Mike) will all be present and ready to play.

If you can’t make it to Orlando to party with us in person, we’ll also be live-streaming both nights!

We love you all and are so honored that you have supported us through all of this. We pray God continues to use our songs to bring you encouragement and assurances of His love for years to come.

Hoping to see you in Orlando,

Tenth Avenue North

More than 20 years ago, Tenth Avenue North was formed as three friends in a dorm room, and they have gone on to sell more than two million albums, win multiple GMA Dove Awards including New Artist of the Year and tour around the world. Tenth Avenue North has been awarded a RIAA Platinum certified single (“By Your Side”), two RIAA Gold certified singles (“Worn,” “You Are More”) and a RIAA Gold certified album (Over and Underneath). Since their acclaimed national debut, Over and Underneath, Tenth Avenue North’s career has been built one hit song at a time thanks to radio favorites like “Love Is Here,” “Hold My Heart,” “By Your Side,” “You Are More,” and their multi-week No. 1 smash “Control (Somehow You Want Me).” Tenth Avenue North is Mike Donehey (lead vocals, guitar) and Jeff Owen (guitar, vocals).

Unfortunately, tickets are not free for this livestream, but it is probably the last chance to see this great CCM group perform. Tickets cost $15 for one night or $20 for both (plus fees) and can be gotten HERE.

After nearly two decades of great music I was sad to see Tenth Avenue North disband. I remember seeing them years ago at Sonshine Festival in Willmar. I will definitely be watching their final concerts.
