Skillet
Not every rebellion gestates in darkness. As one of the best-selling rock bands of the 21st century, Skillet continue to rebel against conventions, doubts, expectations, and rules with the intent to uplift in light. The two-time GRAMMY® Award-nominated Pandora Billionaires Club members and multiplatinum Kenosha, Wisconsin quartet—John Cooper [lead vocals/bass], Korey Cooper [guitar/keys], Jen Ledger [drums/vocals], and Seth Morrison [lead guitar]—never compromise their integrity. Instead, they’ve traveled their own path to unprecedented heights with an urgent sound, undeniable energy, and unbreakable spirit.
Skillet has embodied rock ‘n’ roll’s evolution from day one. Selling 12 million albums worldwide to date, they’ve earned over a dozen RIAA certifications in recognition of gold, platinum, or multiplatinum status. Landmark album Awake notably went 3x-platinum and picked up a Billboard Music Award. Plus, it housed the 2x-platinum track “Awake & Alive,” 3x-platinum track “Hero,” and 4x-platinum track “Monster.” The latter stands out as “one of the most-streamed rock songs in history” with over 1.2 BILLION global audio streams. 2019’s Victorious marked the group’s fourth consecutive Top 20 debut on the Billboard Top 200. The album concluded the year on LoudWire’s “The 50 Best Rock Albums of 2019” and yielded the Top 10 rock radio smash “Legendary,” racking up north of 100 million streams.
Tenth Avenue North
Tenth Avenue North has used music to explore the depth and breadth of the human condition and God’s enduring love sine the release of their acclaimed national debut album, Over and Underneath. Following radio and streaming favorites like “Love is Here,” “By Your Side,” “Worn,” “I Have This Hope,” and “Control (Somehow You Want Me),” nearly 2 million albums sold, Platinum and Gold certified singles, and countless live shows, Tenth Avenue North’s newest album, Learning To Trust takes the journey to the next level. The band’s passion for using music to foster connection, spread joy and share grace is abundantly present in this newest collection and their desire to share it live with audiences around the world.
