Following a successful spring tour, two-time GRAMMY-winning and
multi-platinum-selling, Jars of Clay, gears up for the fall leg
of The Eleventh Hour Tour, featuring special guest, The
Elms, and a tour partnership with international relief organization
World Vision.
"Working with Jars' vision and personality, the detail of this tour really makes sense. The band favors spending one-on-one time with the audience and everything from ticket pricing to the new sound check meet-and-greets are set up to allow for that proximity," notes David McCollum, Rendy Lovelady Management.
Jars of Clay's self-produced and critically acclaimed alum, The Eleventh Hour, has generated two number-one singles including, "I Need You" and "Fly" and has been covered by media outlets such as the TV Guide Channel, The CBS Early Show, Music Biz Magazine, Teen People and both CNN's "Music on the Road" and "Headline News." A special note by CNN's Lindsey Brien concluded, "the band has found an audience with their subtle message and their not so subtle guitars," adding, "their fans continue to support the band faithfully."
Jars of Clay, honored in many musical genres including pop, rock and gospel, continued to tour through the summer, following the successful 50-city spring leg of The Eleventh Hour Tour. Jars of Clay headlined a number of fairs and festivals in addition to performing with Sheryl Crow on numerous dates of her summer and fall tour.
Jars of Clay will release its first DVD, "11 Live: Jars of Clay in Concert", in mid-September. The DVD, also available on VHS, features two hours of performance footage, including a full-production concert set and an intimate acoustic set, plus behind-the-scenes interviews with the band.
Being hailed as "one of the best bands to come along in Christian music" by ChristianityToday.com, The Elms have received credible praise for their distinct sound and probing lyrics. Following the widespread critical acclaim of their debut album, The Big Surprise, The Elms will release their highly anticipated sophomore album TRUTH, SOUL, ROCK & ROLL on October 22nd which features the talents of producer Brent Milligan (Seven Day Jesus, Chasing Furies), and engineers Richard Dodd (Sheryl Crow, Delbert McClinton, Wilco) and David Bianco (Tom Petty, The Black Crowes). The Elms' album also caught the attention of legendary guitarist Peter Frampton who invited the band to join him on several tour dates in August and September 2002.
The Elms’ single "Hey, Hey" was the band's first music video and has received consistent airplay on MTV2's "120 Minutes" as well as reached the Top 5 on the Christian Hit Radio Charts (CHR). In addition, The Elms gained two nominations for the 2002 Gospel Music Association Dove Awards. The album was nominated for Modern Rock/Alternative Album of the Year, while "Hey, Hey" received a nod for Modern Rock/Alternative Song of the Year.
