On sharing the road and stage with Matt and Leigh, who also call Nashville home, Dan Haseltine, Jars' lead singer, says, "We're really looking forward to this tour with Leigh and Matt. Leigh is a long-time friend and Matt is simply an amazing talent we're really looking forward to touring with." (Read Suite review of Matt Wertz' "Everything in Between" here).

"Good Monsters," completely self-produced by the band, offers 11 original songs and a remake of the Julie Miller-penned anthem "All My Tears." "Good Monsters" even boasts a couple of stirring guest appearances: Nashville-based, singer/songwriter extraordinaire Kate York guests on "Even Angels Cry," and formerly of Sixpence None the Richer, Leigh Nash, sings on "Mirrors and Smoke." (See Suite review of Nash's "Blue on Blue" here.) Additionally, the African Children's Choir is featured on the moving, "Light Gives Heat," a song inspired by its work in Africa through its non-profit, organization, the Blood:Water Mission.
