Tenth Avenue North Members, Gear & Sound

Tenth Avenue North is an American band rooted in the realms of Christian rock and contemporary worship music. Emerging from West Palm Beach, Florida, the group was formed in 2000 and has been a staple in the Christian music scene. The band originally consisted of Mike Donehey (lead vocals, guitar), Jason Jamison (drums), Jeff Owen (guitar, backing vocals), and Ruben Juarez III (bass guitar, backing vocals). Known for their spiritually evocative lyrics and anthemic sound, Tenth Avenue North has captivated audiences with their blend of emotional depth and uplifting melodies.

Tenth Avenue North's sound is characterized by its melodic and reverberant guitar tones, often achieved through the use of warm, analog-inspired effects. Jeff Owen's guitar work prominently features the PRS Starla and Duesenberg Starplayer TV, both of which contribute to the band’s rich and resonant sonic palette. The Eventide TimeFactor Twin Delay helps create their signature ambient textures, adding layers of depth that complement their introspective lyrics. The TC Electronic Hall Of Fame Mini Reverb further enhances their expansive sound, allowing each note to linger and resonate, evoking a sense of spiritual transcendence that defines their music.
