Aaron Gillespie Announces Second Solo Worship Album 'Grace Through The Wandering'
Former Underoath drummer and current frontman of The Almost, Aaron Gillespie, will release his second solo worship album 'Grace Through The Wandering' on 3rd February 2015. The album will be the follow-up to his highly acclaimed 2011 release 'Anthem Song'.
The first single from the forthcoming album is 'Praise Him', which is already receiving airplay (see lyric video below).
As a full-time touring professional musician, Aaron Gillespie never imagined he'd still be on the road but having a role as a worship pastor somewhere. A little more than a year ago Gillespie accepted a job offer at a church and was prepared to move with his wife and then 2-year-old son. However, things changed when he received the call to play a gig with Platinum-selling band Paramore. What was initially a temporary gig remains ongoing.
"I didn't expect to have the privilege of playing with Paramore this long," Gillespie said. "It was supposed to be a quick thing, and it just sort of evolved. So I actually made this record while on the road with the band during my downtime."
With the help of producer Jon Howard, who tours with Paramore playing keys and providing background vocals, he recorded the album in 10 cities - from Paris to Tulsa. They carried gear and set up makeshift studios in hotel rooms.
