how did the band start? what was the first song?

Jars of Clay began at Greenville College in Greenville, IL when four young lads met and discovered friendship through music. They were majors in "Contemporary Christian Music", a somewhat recent department in the college.

Charlie Lowell, Dan Haseltine and Matt Bronleewe had been there for the year of 1992 and played in various bands as well as producing their own studio projects.

These bands included Chrysalis, Jazon, Yellow #7, Second Level, and many other school bands involving students from the CCM department as well as others. When Stephen Mason appeared on the scene in september of 1993, and had similar interests in music, the guys decided to write a song together, "just for fun". Dan had met Stephen because he had a Toad the Wet Sprocket shirt on, a band which they both admired for their unique sound.

The band wrote and recorded a song called "Fade to Grey", which included many drum loops and samples, a very techno-oriented song. It was simply a studio project for credit in a recording class. Their friends enjoyed the song and they performed it in late October for a college cafe called the "Underground Cafe", which they had put together to raise money for homeless shelters and jail ministries.

The "Underground" was the dormitory that the vast majority of music majors inhabited. The band continued classes and when they found more time, decided to play "Little Drummer Boy" for the Underground Cafe on December 7th, as it was nearing Christmas time. A strange and distorted version of "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer" was also played impromptu this evening, to the tune of Nirvana's "Smells Like Teen Spirit".

Following Christmas vacation, the four of them decided they'd like to write additional songs to add to their live repertoire and satisfy the requirements of their recording studio class, but thought it would be appropriate to give a name to these collaborations.

Charlie recalled a Bible verse he had read which discussed the frailty of man, and the irony that this amazing life has been breathed into our frail, physical bodies by our Lord. This passage, which related the struggles of man and the testing of our wills and bodies, which ultimately provides us the strength to endure the hardships of life, included the phrase "Jars of Clay". The phrase was penned by the Apostle Paul, and was from 2 Corinthians, chapter four verse seven:

"But we have this treasure in jars of clay, to show that this all-surpassing power is from God and not from us".

The band thought that was a good way to keep themselves humble- to have a band name that would force them to continually realize that all of their blessings had come from God, including this talent to write songs that their classmates enjoyed. So in January of 1994, Jars of Clay was born.

get to know dan haseltine

Full Name: Daniel Paul Haseltine

First Song (& Age Written): The first song I wrote was called "Suicide Note" and was actually a song written for a church youth group album called Youth Sing in central Florida. I was fifteen, I think.

Favorite Sports Team: The Tennessee Titans

Have you read any good books lately? This will sound really sad, but I've been out of reading for about a year now. I've picked up a couple of things here and there. There's a book called The Sacred Romance by Brent Curtis and John Eldredge about drawing closer to the heart of God.

What are you learning from this book? I'm learning how to read a little bit quicker, so that I can get through it. No, I grew up in a church that had a lot of really bad theology, so I've been really interested in learning a lot of the basics again, reminding myself of the gospel, the heart of that. This is a really good book that gives a good solid foundation of faith.

What's in your CD player right now? Wilco's Summer Teeth, Vertical Horizon's Everything You Need and The Soft Bulletin from The Flaming Lips.

Favorite Bible Verse: II Corinthians 4:7, which is where we got our name. It's kind of a cop out, but it says so well what we are, the human race, what we're about, how fragile we are and how much we need God. It says so much about what God has done, that that's what matters and not what we do. That's really it.

dan haseltine: a new roaring lamb

Interview of Dan Haseltine, lead singer, Jars of Clay

Robin: There are those who strongly oppose the idea of Christians performing -- or perhaps even existing -- in a place outside of what they are familiar with. How do you respond when you encounter someone like this? And I don't mean that in a hypothetical way -- what do you actually say to these people when it really happens?

Dan: I suppose I have responded to people differently throughout the years. I have often tried to explain the idea of God as a very unsafe and wild being. What about love is safe? What about love communicates that it only likes to exist in places where comfort reigns? The love I put my hope in is wild and unpredictable. It is a love that shines into darkness. It is a light that makes itself known in the dark night of the soul and in the midst of suffering. It goes places I would never be caught in. It is in the brothel and the leper colony. It finds its way into the hearts of convicts and hardened pastors. So why would anyone ever presume that we, the body of Christ, the conduits of this love, would only be able to exist within the walls of our comfortable churches? I would even contend that if it were not for God coming into places where these Christian people think are inappropriate, they themselves might not know Christ or redemption and salvation!

JARS OF CLAY COMING TO TOWN!

Friends, its unbelievable but true.
(Sometimes, I slap myself on the face wondering if I’m dreaming or not.)
We got JARS OF CLAY to come to Manila and Cebu!

Okay, some of you are jumping up and down and going hysterical.

Concert dates: Feb 28 (Cebu, B.R.I.G.H.T Academy) and March 2 (Araneta Coliseum). Hey, don’t drive too fast! Take five deep breaths first.

For those who are scratching their heads, let me introduce them to you.

JARS OF CLAY is a Christian band who are very, very, very big—legends in the industry. They’ve sold over five million records and have too-many-to-count Grammy awards.

So if you like great music—catch them “live”!

You can write me at bomarowe@info.com.ph
