The band, recently signed with Avista, an arm of Provident-Sony Music, developed the tour in 2003. The band tours extensively throughout the United States in support of the tour, a concept developed by band founder, Doug Meacham.
“Touring, traveling and playing is the best way we can reach new and established supporters. And as we work on our third album, this tour will provide us with more opportunities to grow musically and develop a new sound. Plus, the tour events are great for families, are high energy and contribute to an extremely positive cause all at the same time,” Meacham said in a recent interview of the band’s affiliation with the nonprofit Mission of Mercy.

Faith & Family Night Tour and Mission of Mercy
The Faith & Family Night Tour was first organized by New Method in 2003. Through the tour, New Method performs at sporting and special events before or after games and events at such professional basketball soccer, hockey and baseball.
The tour is free for concert-goers; however, New Method does encourage attendees to sponsor a child through the band’s charity partner, the international nonprofit organization Mission of Mercy.
Mission of Mercy is a child sponsorship organization helping to meet the needs of children in poverty-stricken areas of the world. Through its programs, children receive food, education and medical aid. Child sponsorships are available at each New Method show.
