My crazy life hasn't allowed time to blog about the most refreshing, encouraging concert I have been to this past year. The upside to having pink eye(s) and a sore throat is that it gives me an excuse to become a couch potato and catch up on emails, blogging and movie-watching. "Tenth Avenue North" played at Zeke's this past Saturday night. It was a fairly small crowd, but every person I talked to after was just incredibly blown away with these guys. Not only were they musically really tight, but they were just a bunch of nice, solid, down-to-earth guys. The best part of the whole concert wasn't even the playing, but it was Mike (the lead singer) speaking inbetween the songs. His "mini messages" were so easy to relate to and were so REAL- I could tell that he really believed this stuff and he was very passionate about sharing the truths with others. I sat next to Mike's uncle and family who came from Omaha, NE for the concert. They were a hoot-- clapping off the beat and getting really pumped up. It definitely rubbed off on me. :-)
If you haven't heard of "Tenth Avenue North", check 'em out. They're genuine, uplifting and their songs are CONTAGIOUS!
Just as a side note here-- the band all got some gelato from our very own Capanna's and LOVED it. Man, that stuff is so good.
Here's a vid of them talking about their album "Over and Underneath" that came out this year.

Sarah,
Wish I could have gone to this. It looks like an uplifting time. Maybe I'll have to get a couple of their songs from itunes. Anything you would suggest?
Wow- it's hard for me to choose just a few, I love their whole CD. I guess it depends on what you're looking for....
"Times" "Hold My Heart" and "By Your Side" are great encouragement songs if someone is struggling with something that is dragging them down. "Beloved" is a love song b/w us and Christ, "You Are" and "Life Us Up to Fall" are more worship-focused.
I would say that "By Your Side" and "Love is Here" are their two most popular songs, but they're all wonderful.
Hope that helps! :-)
