Deze week is de Finally Living Tour van Tenth Avenue North van start gegaan. Maar nu is bekend gemaakt dat daarna het doek valt voor de Amerikaanse band. “It’s been a glorious, hard-fought, and oftentimes, breathtaking journey. We feel like we’ve seen it all. The Fights. The Victories. Forgiveness. Mercy. Oh yeah. Truck loads of mercy,” laat de band weten via social media.

Zanger Mike Donehey is het enige bandlid dat vanaf de start van de band in 2000 onderdeel was van Tenth Avenue North. De groep bestaat verder uit Jeff Owen en Ruben Juarez III. In de persoonlijke boodschap vertelt de band dat ieder bandlid voor zichzelf na de 20 jaar van het bestaan van de band nieuwe dromen heeft ontwikkeld en dat het tijd is om elkaar aan te moedigen om te gaan.

Misschien heb je de band in 2011 gezien op het Flevo Festival. Wil je ze nog live zien? Dan moet je toch echt naar Amerika toe en vooral niet te lang wachten. Op 5 april geeft de band de laatste show van deze plotselinge afscheidstournee.

Dear friends, Words fail when it comes to “farewell” Even the best goodbyes are bittersweet. Maybe we’re made for eternity after all. 20 years ago, Tenth Avenue North was nothing but three friends goofing around in a PBA dorm room. We never dreamt it would take us around the globe, not in a million years. But here we are, two decades later, shaking our heads, grateful, in awe. We’re grateful for all the stories, all the tears, for all all the memories we’ve made. Did we mention the music? If you count independent releases, Tenth Avenue North has birthed 15 original music projects. Fifteen. It’s been a glorious, hard-fought, and oftentimes, breathtaking journey. We feel like we’ve seen it all. The Fights. The Victories. Forgiveness. Mercy. Oh yeah. Truck loads of mercy. And now it seems a season is coming to a close. One by one, band members have been moving on. We don’t think this is a sign of unhealth, but quite the opposite. After twenty years, we are all dreaming new dreams, and it’s time to encourage one another to go. Go and do all that is in our hearts to do. That said, tomorrow we will begin the “Finally Living Tour.” Or maybe we’ll now call it, “The Final Farewell Tour,” because that’s what this, a farewell. It is with a great deal of joy and sorrow all mixed up together, we want you to know this will be our last tour as Tenth Avenue North. There will be some summer shows and festivals sprinkled through the rest of this year, and maybe a bit more music as well, but as far as we can tell, this will be the last tour we ever do. We don’t exactly know what the future holds, but we believe this; when the way isn’t clear before us, we do well to pay attention to what doors are being closed behind us. Leaning into this guidance, we are going to lean forward into the unknown. We love you all. It has been an incredible journey. May the God who gave us the grace to continue, give us the grace to end well. Here’s to one last tour together. Hope to see you out there. Cheers, Tenth Avenue North
