Ten Shekel Shirt

Ten Shekel Shirt is a band with a message. Through two album releases, a # 1 hit at Christian CHR radio, and 150,000 album sales, lead singer/songwriter Lamont Hiebert has watched as his songs of revolution and rejuvenation have impacted listeners across the globe. But sometimes actions speak louder than words, and after hearing reports about child slavery and exploitation, Lamont had a life altering experience when he traveled to Southeast Asia and witnessed the sale of children first-hand.

Not content to simply write songs about the issue, Lamont co-founded the organization Love146 to help end child slavery and exploitation. Love146 quickly gained national recognition for their work, earning the MySpace Impact Award for Social Justice and they were named an “Agent of Change” by GQ magazine.

Lamont’s experiences as a modern day abolitionist are at the heart of many of the songs on Ten Shekel Shirt’s new album, Jubilee, easily the strongest album in the band’s career.

Though the album’s songs deal with weighty subject matter, Lamont and Ten Shekel Shirt bring a strong message of hope throughout.
