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.
"Tenth Avenue North's melodies are memorable and the musicianship is taut and inventive, but it's Mike Donehey's incredible lyrics that literally moved me to tears. He has an uncanny ability to put words to the hopes, fears, dreams, and struggles we all carry in our hearts and on our shoulders," says Billboard Magazine's Deborah Evans Price. "To say this band is going to be 'the next big thing' feels like an understatement."

You guys are the best! Your music never ceases to inspire me and help me when I get down. The explanation of the struggles of this life are perfectly phrased. Mike is so talented at putting what we all want to say into words!

great artists with even greater hearts. their love for GOD is extreamly potent and when they worship their love for the LORD overflows and seeps into anyone in the proximity.

I like this cd. It is definitely one I want to get. I've heard Love is Here on the radio a lot. I never knew who sang it until NRT put it on here. Thanks! All in all its a good cd. =]
Over and Underneath all expectations!| Posted May 06, 2008
I have loved this band for over 4 years now, and this latest release has gone above and beyond what I have expected. The new, and yet signature, sound that the band creates through their God-focused music is amazingly fresh and alive. Even after listening to the same CD's these past couple years, this new release will fill up my Tenth Ave. craving for the next year or two patiently awaiting what they will do next! Incredible sound, a real message that is focused on the gospel, and a focused, passionate group. What else can you ask for?

I have been a HUGE fan of these guys ever since they led worship at the church I attend. I am so excited they are releasing a new album. God has given these young men some awesome talent in which to glorify His name. I would suggest everyone to preorder this cd now or at least grab it as soon as it hits the shelves. Such heartfelt lyrics and inspirational music to add to your Christian music collection.

This band is amazing. Their music is just REAL. I love it. Quality people. It's awesome. Saw these guys in concert with Mercy Me...they are just quality. They love the Lord and it shows. Goodness...it shows.
surprised me!| Posted May 06, 2008
I was afaid that Tenth Avenue North might release a cd with only one amazing song on it (Love is here). But they have proven me wrong. Each song really has a distinct sound and message to share. They're similar in style and sound to some recent worship bands, but still seem to be different.
Thanks NRT| Posted May 06, 2008
I really enjoyed getting to preview this album. So many good songs, Love is here is already getting alot of air play but I like Hold my Heart, it has a good message. Everything in God's timing

This is absolutely amazing. The rawness of the lyrics just makes me humbled and realize that God is there even though I feel like I have been hurt or have fallen from grace. Amazing- simply amazing
