Louder Than The Music

Brandon Heath and Jars of Clay will be joining together to co-headline the 21-city 'An Evening With Brandon Heath & Jars of Clay' tour later this year. In partnership with Blood:Water Mission and Food for the Hungry, the tour will kick off on 8th October in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, and travel across the country before ending in mid-November.

The tour gives these two musical entities an opportunity to create a true collaborative night not to be missed. Audiences will be able to catch them playing within each other's sets in a series of one-time-only performances not likely to be seen again.

Brandon Heath will perform selections from his first two albums ('Don't Get Comfortable', 'What If We') and will also unveil new material from his upcoming third studio album, due for a February 2011 release. Multi-platinum-selling Jars of Clay will be touring in support of their brand new album, 'The Shelter', to be released on 5th October. It is the band's 11th CD and the follow-up to their Grammy-nominated 'The Long Fall Back To Earth'.

"I'm more excited than I can even really say about the chance to tour with Jars of Clay this fall," Heath says. "We truly are long-time friends and collaborators. Now, the chance to do this over a period of weeks on tour in front of a live audience - it's going to be special. I really look forward to what will happen each night on stage playing and singing together."

"We can't wait to head out this fall with our friend Brandon Heath," adds Jars of Clay's Steve Mason. "We are looking forward to playing songs from our new album along with some old favorites going all the way back to our first record."

The tour partners with relief organizations Blood:Water Mission and Food for the Hungry in a joint effort to focus on needs in Kenya. Founded and launched by Jars of Clay in early 2002, Blood:Water Mission is a non-profit organization promoting clean blood and water in Africa. This year Jars of Clay will celebrate the building of the 1000th well which will bring clean water to more than 150,000 people. For
