Jars of Clay is a Christian band from the 1990s that broke through and became popular on both Christian and Rock stations. Jars of Clay is one of the most recognizable Christian Rock bands behind Mercy Me and was able to bridge the gap successfully between Grunge, Alternative Rock and Christian music.

Jars of Clay became popular during the Grunge era, and their song "Flood" has a decidedly Grunge/Alternative Rock sound. I remember hearing their music on both Christian and our Alternative Rock station in Portland, Oregon in the mid-1990s and it was featured in the movies "Hard Landing" and "A Walk to Remember". The group won many Grammy awards for their work and became independent in 2007 as well as being commercially successful while helping to spread the Gospel along the way.

Jars of Clay is a 4-man Christian Rock band that were heavily inspired by Alternative Rock bands of their day including Nirvana. Notably, Jars of Clay also toured with and performed with Matchbox Twenty and Sting and also helped to elevate Christian Rock and spread the Gospel. Their inclusion into the Grunge/Rock mainstream helped to bolster other upcoming Christian artists and provided capital for other such artists to pave the way.

I am a huge fan of this band, and have purchased several of their albums in the mid-1990s through the 2000s. Their band is no longer active as it once was, but the four artists are working on their own projects and have worked with other groups in collaborations. Their sound is distinct and if you haven't heard them before, I highly recommend their albums "Jars of Clay" and "The Eleventh Hour".

My Rising Star Report 8/08/2024:

Today was another fun and exciting experience on Rising Star. I have been a part of this play to earn game and community for over a year and a half, and I'm still earning and learning.

I keep claiming Starbits from the music missions and keep increasing my claims using music lessons. My ego score is constantly on my mind, and when it rises above 10%, I start doubling up on music lessons to decrease this score. It's fu. To invest into record staking opportunities for passive income.

Make sure to invest time and resources into both the passive and active aspects of this game. NFT cards and record staking help to keep the income flowing, and it's fun to advance from fledgling star to superstar. I highly recommend the Saturday Headliner mission to keep earning.

Have a great day and game on 🎮🕹️👍
