Tenth Avenue North Tickets

I came for the music - I and received a holy spirit-filled experience! The lead singer of the band is so led by the Spirit as he shares with his audience the story behind each song. He is a story-teller, comedian, pastor, and singer combined into one. The band plays songs that are so full of God's Word and the Christian experience. I have been listening to "Light Meets the Dark" CD non-stop in my van ever since hearing them live. I am so thankful that there are cool bands and contemporary music such as 10th Ave North, Matt Mayer, and Addison Road for Christians to hear. Thanks for the awesome evening of worship!

I first saw Tenth Avenue North and Addison Road when they toured together on the "Rock 'n Worship Road Show" with Mercy Me, Jeremy Camp, and Hawk Nelson. I was absolutely blown away by them then, and this concert was exponentially better. Mike Donehey (the lead singer of Tenth Ave. North) is the most eloquent, to-the-point, spot-on Christian speaker I can ever remember hearing, bar none. Before his band sang a single note, Mike spoke for around 20 minutes straight about Compassion International. Sadly, those interludes are typically the time at which audience members take a break, visit booths, etc, but I don't remember seeing anyone pick up and leave; Mike's talk riveted the crowd and spoke to the heart of what it means to be an authentic follower of Christ. There were no pretenses, no acts, no trite cliches. He cut through the accumulated baggage of Christianity and got to the point: following Christ means loving others and doing something about it. Apart from the awesome speaking, the music was phenomenal. Matt Maher blew us away with "Your Grace is Enough," "Alive Again," "Love Will Hold Us Together," plus a little Bob Marley. Addison Road performed almost their entire "Stories" album, as well as a few from their original self-titled release. I've been following Jenny and the guys since that original Rock 'n Worship Road Show (having also caught them a couple months ago in Great Falls, MT), and I just love those guys. They love each other, and they have an earnest heart God and their music; that love comes out loud and clear, and they're just FUN to watch. And of course, Tenth Avenue North rocked the house. With only two albums released thus far, the audience was well-versed in their music, so it was a very interactive experience. The guys just don't themselves too seriously, and I pray that they are able to maintain that outlook throughout their career. As I frequently tell people, this band has never written a "B" song; every song carries the weight of truth, and their talent with arranging music is phenomenal. Without question, Tenth Avenue North is my favorite band right now, and that's unquestionably owed to the pure, genuine Christianity modeled by Mike Donehey and reflected in the lyrics of their songs. On a technical note, Turning Point Open Bible church was an excellent venue, with great acoustics and clear line-of-sight to the stage. The shape of the auditorium allowed the entire audience (even us, three rows from the back) to be close enough to the artists to clearly distinguish expressions and feel that much more connected with the bands. I regularly attend concerts, and as a worship leader myself, I tend to to be overly critical of "productions" and "performances." I've seen my share of them, so believe me when I say that this is a show worth seeing. I haven't stopped raving to everyone I see about this awesome ensemble, and I doubt you will, either, if you get the chance to see them.

My boys and I had a great time at this concert. All three groups were amazing. It was a great venue for concert.

Tenth Avenue North was absolutely awesome! The music was amazing and Mike was hilarious!

This was a really good concert, my daughter and I enjoyed it very much. I wish the venue had filled up more, but we had a good, responsive crowd. All three bands were amazing! Matt is so good live! Mike is really funny, talks a lot, but then they performed for about 90 mins. Plus the other two bands!

This concert was awesome. The venue was outstanding and the artists were incredible.

Tenth avenue north you guys are awesome!! Love you guys!! The concert was freakin awesome !!

They were so amazing live! They are funny, kept playing when the crowd wanted 'em to, promote great causes, and play awesome music.

All the bands there were amazing!!! And the message that was shared was so needed! I laughed, cried, danced etc!!! Can't wait for them to come back!! Rolling Hills Church did a superb job hosting!

I thought the 3 bands were great. But If I pay $25 a ticket I expect to have a seat. Why would they not have seats?

Loved the message and hearts of all of these bands. I must be too old because it was too loud.

Great music, humble musicians, a focused mission, and laughter all combine to make this a great show for young and old. I did not know many of the songs when I went but, am planning to buy more of their music. We stayed late and most of the band came out to sign autographs. Even during the signing the band members took their time and wanted to talk instead of just trying to get through the line. Also two encores.

I've been to many concerts but this one by far surpasses them all!!! These guys are very talented but most of all have beautiful hearts which shinned through during their performance!! I loved that they took the time to talk to the audience and share with them what was on their heart. This event was far more than a concert and I'm thankful I was able to be there. It was exactly what my heart and soul needed. I look forward to seeing them again in concert!!

Excellent show!! We had already seen Tenth Avenue North before and wanted to see them again. One of the better Christian bands out there. Only reason I am giving a 4 star instead of a 5 is personal taste. Michael from 10th Ave is a great speaker and very funny as well! He was able to get many different emotions out of you.

The music is excellent, but the band is about more than just music. They are about giving God glory and helping the poor as well. Mars Hill is not an easy place to get to on a weeknight at rush hour and not set up well for parking and dropping off teenagers. I will think twice before taking that on again!

All of the bands were great! Matt Maher, Addison Road and Tenth Ave North. They were all very uplifting and engaging. Lead singer of Tenth Ave North, very funny! He could do stand up. Very passionate and really walked out of there with renewed energy.

The time spent with the bands in worship was awesome. I would go again for sure.

Tenth Avenue North was outstanding! This was not a good place for a concert. The sound is not very good and we had to stand for 4 hours because there were no chairs. Wonderful songs and good length for concert.

This show rocked. The music started slower with Chris August, and picked up as Addison Road and Tenth Avenue North took the stage. Then came Healing Begins from Tenth Avenue North, and suddenly, the crowd went nuts and paid absolute attention to the rocking songs with a softer edge to it. However, it wasn't just rocking out. There were some softer reflective moments too, and even a promotion for the organization Compassion making it music with a mission: to serve in the name of Jesus. This was a great concert for anyone who believes in Christ.

Tenth Avenue North has been one of my favorite bands since their first album. So when I found out they were coming to Seattle, I was stoked. The concert was even better than I thought it would be. They are funny, passionate, and extremely talented. If you ever have a chance, go. I know I would go again if given the chance. =)
