StageIt, 20 Years and New Live EP

Jars of Clay — Fri, 15 Mar 2013 19:29:59 +0000

Dear friends-

It has been far too long since we last caught up.

2012 was an amazing year for playing live. We had some very memorable intimate performances with our friends, Sleeping At Last, Mariah McManus, Matthew Perryman Jones, and LEAGUES in some of the finest clubs and small theaters we’ve had the privilege to play.

In between live performances, we took some time to visit one of our favorite cities, Portland, OR, where we collaborated with Tucker Martine (producer), Matt Chamberlain (drummer extraordinaire), Beau Sorensen (sound guru), Jacquire King (master mix engineer) and Adrian Belew (guitar legend) to build a new Jars of Clay studio record. We could not be more pleased with the results of these collaborations….well, maybe if Adele had sung on it.. that aside… It is an incredibly beautiful record that we can barely wait for you to hear.

We will be making an announcement about the album’s release date and pre-sale options VERY soon.
And speaking of announcements.......

StageIt:
Put this one on your calendar -MARCH 18th at 6pm CST
Jars of Clay is performing a “StageIt” Live web concert! Since we have sold out of the original tickets (THANK YOU), we are going to release 50 additional tickets on Wednesday at 10am CST. Our hope is to accommodate more of you on this list because we don't want you to miss it. Details and tickets HERE

New Live EP:
Now for the most important announcement!

We have a new, special live 6-Song EP coming out in on Monday, March 18th.

Jars of Clay “Under the Weather -Live from Sellersville, PA” will be available exclusively from jarsofclay.com on the 18th.... And we plan to offer some bonus goodies for anyone who downloads it directly from our website as we will throw in a brand new song from the forthcoming new record and some videos, too. The standard 6-song version should be available on iTunes, Amazon, and other places on Tuesday, March 19th.

These performances are some of our favorites and we think you are going to love them. If you did not get a chance to see us play this past year, this is for you. If you did see us play… this is for you.

Well, that is probably enough about us. We continue to be overwhelmed with gratitude for your continued passion for Jars of Clay. We hope to see you soon at a show.

All the Best -
Dan, Charlie, Matt, and Steve

Dan Haseltine Update

Jars of Clay — Fri, 27 Jul 2012 15:22:48 +0000

On July 25th, our singer and frontman Dan Haseltine underwent a procedure to correct a coronary issue after experiencing a cardiac event. He is doing well and recovering. Dan is grateful for the thoughts and prayers that have gone out on his behalf. We are looking forward to our fall tour, and can't tell you how excited we are about the 11th studio album we are finishing work on, which will be out early in 2013.

Update From Charlie: Fall Tour, New Album and More

Charlie — Wed, 03 Aug 2011 16:47:44 +0000

Well, it's mid-summer, and Nashville could not be any hotter or more humid! We have been working hard in the studio on a number of different projects. The main one being the writing for our next full-length project. We started writing in June, and will continue throughout the next few months, but we are excited to see what gradually comes forward. Writing is funny for us, and it's always been this way, but the record sort of finds us, as opposed us knowing exactly what we are creating. It's a mysterious process, and it keeps us engaged and intrigued!

We have been working on a Christmas EP that will be available this fall. We found a couple more "classic" Christmas songs to re-invent, as well as a new original song that we wrote.

We've also been recording some acoustic versions of older Jars songs that have not had much attention these past handful of years. Mainly inspired by our VIP remix events during last winter's Roadshow tour, we have enjoyed capturing some of these intimate arrangements for your ears.

If you haven't yet heard the recent Roadshow news, there is a fall tour going out and we'll be playing on it once again! We're excited to re-join MercyMe and Matt Maher, as well as Hawk Nelson, Disciple, and more, for a great evening of music at a low price. Stay tuned for announcements about our own exclusive VIP pre-show event, which includes a ticket to the Roadshow concert. Tourdates and info at: http://therockandworshiproadshow.com/

Just before Roadshow goes out this November, we'll be performing a couple weekends in clubs as an acoustic foursome. It'll be a fun evening of stories, interaction and acoustic music, hopefully something our long-time
fans have not seen lately. We are privileged to have the incredible (and hilarious) Dave Barnes out to support us!

We are also experimenting with some news media outlets to better be in communication with YOU. We have been U-streaming live from our studio as we write and record a bit this summer. Twitter and facebook are the best ways to stay plugged in with what we are up to. The link to our stream, if you care to bookmark it, is: http://www.ustream.tv/channel/jars-of-clay

If you are on our facebook page, you may notice that a couple of us havenstarted our own artist pages, as a way to be in more direct communication with you, reading stories and replying to questions and comments more regularly. Feel free to LIKE our artist pages and check in or throw your questions at us. ;)

Thanks, friends!! May your summer be filled with air conditioning and sweet lemonade.
