Mike Donehey on 'Learning to Trust' and the Return of Tenth Avenue North

It was sort of a strange ending for three-time Dove Award winner Tenth Avenue North.  Set to disband after 20 years with a highly touted farewell tour in 2020, the celebrated quartet never got their chance.  Cut short due to the global pandemic, the band was left sitting at home. And for lead singer Mike Donehey, he was wondering what his next move would be in Christian music. The last five years have been a bit of a journey for Donehey and has included two EP solo records, a podcast hosting gig, writing and publishing a book, touring as a solo artist, and then in 2024, the decision to reform Tenth Avenue North but with a different set of backing musicians.   Donehey joins me to chat about what God has taught him through two decades in contemporary Christian music (CCM), and his excitement for Tenth Avenue North’s first studio album release in six years, “Learning to Trust”.
