33Miles Extends Successful "One Life Tour" Into 2010
Pocket Full of Rocks and Kimber Rising Join Touring Bill
Nashville, TN – March 18, 2010 – GMA Dove Award nominated band, 33Miles, is announcing the spring leg of its highly successful, fall 2009 “One Life Tour.” 33Miles will be joined by worship band Pocket Full of Rocks, who released their third studio project “More Than Noise” on March 2 , as well as newcomers Kimber Rising.
The spring tour kicks off in New Berlin, WI on March 19, and will make stops in 25 cities across the mid-west and southern United States. The extended spring tour comes after multiple sold-out shows during the fall run, a trend that is continuing into the spring with several dates already being close to a sell out including one event running out of tickets in under four hours.
“We are excited to get back out on the road after taking some time off to be with our families and write for our next album,” says lead singer, Jason Barton. “It’ll also be great to join our friends Pocket Full of Rocks and Kimber Rising, who we have loved touring with in the past.”
The tour is partnering with Food For The Hungry to seek aid for earthquake-affected children in Haiti. Concert attendees will have the opportunity to sponsor one of the thousands of children affected by the January 12 disaster. Food For The Hungry is tirelessly working to not only meet the immediate needs of these communities but to begin the long-term development work as well.
“Food for the Hungry is thrilled to be partnering with 33Miles on the ‘One Life Tour,’” explains Ben Greene, Director of Food for the Hungry’s artist program. “They communicate the mission and heart of the organization. We are staying very aggressive in our development work in Haiti and 33Miles wanted to be a part of that. The church has responded to the immediate needs of the Haitian people, now we need to lead the way in the long-term recovery and development efforts. This program gives us that opportunity.”
