Ten Shekel Shirt was a Christian rock band based in New Haven, Connecticut.
Before releasing the album Hiebert recruited Austin Morrison (drums) and Tommy Lee (bass) to fill out the band.
While recording the band's second album, Risk, Hiebert co-founded a charity called Love146 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 December 2008, Lamont Hiebert and Rounder Records agreed to part ways after budget constraints prevented adequate promotion of Jubilee.
