NASHVILLE, TENN. (AUGUST 07, 2024) Acclaimed platinum-selling artist Tenth Avenue North announces their return to touring with their highly anticipated “Invited Tour.” The tour, inspired by their new single “Invited” currently climbing the radio charts, will see the band share music from this exciting new season as well as their fan favorites.

“After a four-year hiatus, we are back and better than ever,” shares founding member and frontman Mike Donehey. “With some new songs and some new players, we are ready to lose our voices with you. Come join us on the Invited Tour hitting stops nationwide this fall.”

With over two decades of nearly two million albums sold, multiple Dove Awards, a Platinum and multiple Gold-certified singles, Tenth Avenue North sensed that God had something else in store for them. A farewell tour was planned in 2020 but disrupted by the global pandemic. The four years following the break sharpened the band’s focus and God used what they thought was an end to create room for them to experience Him in a new way. Releasing new music and the upcoming tour, Tenth Avenue North is ready to get on the road, bringing along new artist Natalie Layne.

Donehey adds, “We’re beyond thrilled to announce we are bringing new rising star Natalie Layne with us. We caught her set at a festival last year and were blown away by her musical prowess and captivating personality. We guarantee these will be unforgettable nights of new Tenth music and classic Tenth songs you’ve come to love.”

TENTH AVENUE NORTH

ABOUT TENTH AVENUE NORTH: Tenth Avenue North started in 2000 when Donehey, Jason Jamison, and Bryan Homan met at Palm Beach Atlantic University in Florida. Since their acclaimed national debut album, Over and Underneath, Tenth Avenue North’s career has been built one hit song at a time thanks to radio and streaming favorites like “Love is Here,” “By Your Side,” “Worn,” “I Have This Hope,” and “Control (Somehow You Want Me).” In four independent albums, eight studio albums, three EPs, a live album, and countless live shows, Tenth Avenue North has used music to explore the depth and breadth of the human condition and God’s enduring love. Now Tenth Avenue North is returning after a four-year hiatus with a few new faces, the same passion for using music to foster connection, spread joy, and share grace, and new music that picks up right where they left off. Their latest single, “Invited,” is receiving a warm welcome from fans, Christian radio, and streaming, with the message that everyone is invited, and everyone has a seat at the table.

With a master’s in commercial piano, Layne won Belmont’s Christian Showcase at her alma mater in 2019, leading her to sign an exclusive recording and publishing contract with Centricity Music. She studied under GRAMMY® award-winning songwriter and producer Bernie Herms (Natalie Grant, Josh Groban, Barbra Streisand) through an apprenticeship that allowed her to shadow him for a semester. She’s sung background vocals for Natalie Grant on the Dove Awards stage and also lent BGVs to labelmate Jason Gray’s upcoming album. Additionally, she’s opened shows for Jeremy Camp, Chris Tomlin, and We The Kingdom, among others, as well as headlined full band sets at Bonnaroo—twice. Leading worship since she was 12 under the mentorship of respected worship pastors such as Cory Asbury, Jon Egan and Jared Anderson, the Colorado Springs native now resides in Nashville where she continues to lead worship at her local church. Her introductory EP, Amen, builds on her growing momentum, serving up six original songs—all co-penned by Layne.
