N ashville, Tenn. -- In an indus­
try know n for its pop artists i.e.
Amy G rant and M ichael W. Smith,
an alternative rock band, Jars O f
Clay, has becom e the fastest-sell­

gospel m usic industry. T he band is
a special guest with the M ichael

“ Flood” is num ber 40 on the m odem
rock charts nationwide, according
to Radio and Records.
In 1994, the G ospel M usic A s­

peted in a talent search w here over
200 acts vied for the distinction o f
