Greenville, Illinois, United States (1992 – present)
Jars of Clay is a popular Christian alternative pop group formed while attending Greenville College in Greenville, Illinois, United States in 1992. The group’s sound has varied over the years as the band has experimented with pop, folk, rock, trip-hop, gospel, and hymnsong. Its self-titled album featured layered acoustic guitars over programmed trip-hop beats. Flood was the band’s biggest crossover hit, and hit #37 on the Billboard Hot 100 and No. 12 on the Modern Rock charts.
The following albums saw large shifts in style. Much Afraid saw them releasing gorgeous - sometimes brittle - music, which the Band intended to have a “timeless” sound, while If I Left The Zoo is a quirkier but musically brilliant album, featuring considerably more keys and experimentation. The Eleventh Hour is their first true “rock” album. They returned to acoustic guitars for the “Furthermore” project, which featured two EPs - a live disc and an acoustic disc. The band’s 5th album, Who We Are Instead continued some of the band’s earlier sonic experiments and showcased some new gospel, bluegrass, and hymnsong influences. The hymnsong approach was continued on an album of new arrangements of classic hymns - Redemption Songs.
Good Monsters was released on Sept. 05, 2006. The album was hailed by CCM Magazine as “Album of the Year” - a controversial move considering that this announcement was made in August.

Jars of Clay is at it again. On October 25th, the band released Gather and Build: A Collection, available through NoiseTrade online as a free download. NoiseTrade promotes our well-loved artist with the following statement: "Jars of Clay have been...reinventing their sound for 17 years. Their thoughtful songwriting often wrestles with the complexities of humanity, relationships on an intimate scale as well as a broader look at society and humanitarianism. This playlist features a handful of quintessential Jars songs, as well as a handful of previously unavailable tracks." - http://www.jesusfreakhideout.com/cdreviews/GatherandBuildACollection.asp
