After years of being on hiatus, Ten Shekel Shirt, the musical group formed by Canadian recording artist Lamont Hiebert, is getting ready to launch their new album titled JUBILEE.

Ten Shekel Shirt’s new album JUBILEE will be released August 19, 2008 through Rounder Records. The first radio single Spark is set to go out this month to multiple radio formats.

The group will be having their CD release concert on August 19th at Crash Mansion in NYC, and everyone is welcome.

In a recent newsletter announcement, Lamont Hiebert from Ten Shekel Shirt wrote:

The album is in many ways an expression of my experiences over the past 5 years. Because of my work as a co-founder of Love146 (formerly Justice for Children Int’l.) a number of the songs deal with the restoration of survivors of abuse, exploitation and slavery. Other tunes reflect my romantic or poetic side such as En Garde and Wartime Lullaby (2 songs that my publisher EMI chose first to push to TV/Film.) The upbeat radio single Spark and the confrontational tune It’s Slavery are the most energetic of the bunch and reveal my need to rock.
