Jars of Clay is a multi- Grammy-winning and platinum-selling Christian rock band. The group's most recent album, "Good Monsters," released in the fall of 2006, was named "Album of the Year" by "CCM Magazine."

Jars of Clay formed in the early 1990s while the members were attending Greenville College in Illinois, and released its self-titled debut album in 1995. The group's name comes from 2 Corinthians 4:7.
