About Jars of Clay

Jars of Clay launched onto the music scene in 1995 with their universal hit "Flood." In June of this year, the band also blazed a new trail with the creation of their own label imprint, "Gray Matters," under the Nettwerk Music Group umbrella. Excited about the new venture, Jars of Clay lead singer Dan Haseltine comments, "As we pursue the goal of making more music, and being creative in a spectrum of ways, 'Gray Matters' will be able to facilitate any of the ideas we want to bring to life."

Christmas Songs is the first holiday release from the band in their 12-year career, and will be the first release on their new label. The band brings new light to memorable Christmas songs such as "O Little Town of Bethlehem," but also beaks new ground with their own original holiday songs such as "In the Bleak Midwinter," "Winter Skin" and "Evergreen."
