Multi-Platinum selling band Jars of Clay (Essential Records) releases its fifth project,Furthermore – From The Studio: From The Stage, today amidst critical acclaim. Furthermore – From The Studio: From The Stage is a two-disc set featuring an acoustic disc, From The Studio, with 11 songs,
including eight new arrangements of Jars of Clay favorites and three new songs. The second disc, From The Stage, offers 10 cuts recorded live on the successful, major market The Eleventh Hour Tour. Returning to its creative roots, just as with The Eleventh Hour,
Jars of Clay wrote, arranged, recorded and produced Furthermore – From The Studio: From The Stage at its own Sputnik Studio in
Franklin, Tenn.
Spotlighting the From The Stage disc, Amazon.com notes, “In less than a decade, Jars has racked up numerous awards (Grammy
and Dove), sold millions of CDs, and encouraged thousands of musicians who marvel at the magical guitar interplay by copying Jars’
now trademark alternative tunings. But can they pull it off live? Furthermore answers that question in the affirmative. Jars proves their
master musicianship carries over quite well in the live setting. – get Furthermore and enjoy the ride.”
Following the release of Furthermore, Jars of Clay is embarking on a 40-plus city, college-market tour beginning February 12 in Grand
Rapids and running nationwide through mid April. Already heralded by promoters as the “thinking man’s pop tour,” Jars of Clay will
showcase acoustic versions of its favorite songs in support of Furthermore. For more information on Jars of Clay, including a current
