Tenth Avenue North is an American contemporary Christian music band from West Palm Beach, Florida. The band released a total of fifteen original music projects,[1] including eight full-length studio albums (six of which reached the Billboard 200, including one which reached the top 10) and multiple RIAA gold singles.
The group was formed while its founding members attended Palm Beach Atlantic University, taking its name from an east-west road in Palm Beach County. During its period of prominence, the band comprised Mike Donehey as the lead singer, Jason Jamison as the drummer, Jeff Owen as the guitarist, Ruben Juarez as the bassist, and Brendon Shirley as the keyboardist.
In February 2020, they announced an amicable end to the band and that their upcoming tour would be their last, as the members wanted to spend more time with their families and pursue other career paths. Their final tour was halted due to the COVID-19 pandemic after a few shows, and ultimately canceled. The band decided to play a final farewell show with the five main members in Florida in April 2021 and disbanded amicably thereafter. However, Donehey announced in November 2023 that the group had reformed and would tour in 2024.[2]
