Louder Than The Music

Tenth Avenue North releases its tenth full-length album, Learning To Trust, an intensely personal album filled with real struggles and years of growth in song. The band features frontman and co-founder Mike Donehey with three new members, but with the same passion and mission. Listen to Learning to Trust.



"Tenth Avenue North’s tenth full-length album is here,” shares Mike Donehey of Tenth Avenue North. “It feels impossible. At the very least, it is improbable. That’s probably why it’s called Learning to Trust. I always thought trust was something we would learn once and instantly master. As life goes on, I find that it’s more like going back to kindergarten every day. Trust is a daily lesson, and it takes a lifetime to master.”

The 14-track album features guest artists Rend Collective, Leanna Crawford, Land of Color, and Natalie Layne. The group has just finished its “The Invited Tour” featuring Natalie Layne, which included 50 dates and concluded in Nashville at the famed Exit/In. Tenth Avenue North has a full schedule of dates this summer and fall, including shows at the end of the year in Europe.

Donehey shares, “The very existence of this band reminds me that when we give ourselves over to trusting God’s merciful providence, with hearts full of faith and hands empty to receive whatever comes, this is exactly where joy is waiting. Though I’m still learning to trust all these years later, I’m so grateful to be given the opportunity."
