Ten Shekel Shirt is a rock band based in New Haven, CT. The band was founded by Lamont Hiebert, and currently consists of Hiebert along with Jonny Rodgers, Colin Meyer and Tim Sway. The band's name comes from a well-known Paris Reidhead sermon, "Ten Shekels and a Shirt". [ [http://www.tenshekelshirt.com/qanda.html Ten Shekel Shirt Q&A] ]

In 2000, Hiebert wrote, recorded and co-produced the album "Much". Before releasing the album Hiebert recruited Austin Morrison (drums) and Tommy Lee (bass) to fill out the band. The independent release of that album sparked the attention of Integrity Music who then signed Hiebert. "Much" sold 130,000 units, was nominated for a Dove Award and featured the #1 hit "Ocean".

While recording the band's second album "Risk", Hiebert co-founded a charity called Justice for Children International (now known as Love146 [http://www.love146.org] to help combat child slavery and exploitation. Soon after "Risk" was released (2003, INO Records), Hiebert put his music career on pause to focus on the charity.

In 2008 Hiebert re-launched his music career and signed with the Boston-based label Rounder Records.
