Tenth Avenue North started in 2000 when Donehey, Jason Jamison, and Bryan Homan met at Palm Beach Atlantic University in Florida. The group needed a name for their band before a local show and figured the name of the street they lived on–10th Ave. N.–was good enough for the first gig.
The rest is history. 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).”
Tenth Avenue North’s newest song, “Invited,” is about the welcoming heart of God. Mike Donehey shares, “When I read scripture, it leaves me with the impression that God has a heart of invitation. Jesus ate with tax collectors, prostitutes, and the Pharisees. It’s like He was saying whether you’re feeling screwed up or quite religious, everyone is My kind of people.” Our first radio single started out quoting Isaiah 55. The first verse of “Love is Here” rings: “Come to the water you who thirst, and you’ll thirst no more.” You see it again and again and again. Come, everyone, just as you are; come and find salvation
