Jars of Clay

Multi-Platinum and GRAMMY Award winning band Jars of Clay from Franklin, Tennessee, (Dan Haseltine, Charlie Lowell, Stephen Mason, and Matt Odmark) launched its career with the hit song, "Flood" in 1995. Since then, it’s amassed more than five million in career sales (5 Gold, 2 platinum and 1 double platinum certifications), three GRAMMY Awards, an American Music Award nod, 17 No.1 radio hits, and numerous film credits and BMI honours for song writing and performing.

While celebrated for its music and writing, Jars of Clay is most concerned with the needs in Africa. Compelled to make a difference, Dan, Charlie, Stephen, and Matt founded Blood:Water Mission in early 2002. The first effort of this non-profit was the "1000 Wells Project" with a goal of raising funds to build, rebuild and repair 1000 wells in urban and rural areas of sub-Saharan Africa. To date, over 300 projects have been constructed bringing clean water to more than 100,000 people. Throughout the years, Jars of Clay has proven to not only be talented musicians, but a multifaceted band that has the ability to evolve along side the music industry, and follow passions that help others across the world.
