Mark Schultz and Audio Adrenaline

“When Audio Adrenaline said goodbye in 2006 due to frontman Mark Stuart’s chronic vocal problems, fans thought they’d heard the last of the Grammy Award-winning Christian rockers. Now with the release of “Kings & Queens,” Audio Adrenaline is back with a revamped line up that features former dcTalk member Kevin Max on lead vocals, original bassist Will McGinniss and new members Jason Walker on keyboards, former Superchick guitarist Dave Ghazarian and drummer Jared Byers, previously with Bleach. Stuart remains involved in songwriting, production and overall brand management as the band embarks on a new chapter. Kings & Queens AudioA Audio Adrenaline kicked off a 30-city tour on March 1 in Morganton, NC. “There are a lot of young kids at these shows. By summertime we’ll playing big festivals and people would have had the record. We’ll really get an idea of what people think about this,” he says of the rebooted Audio Adrenaline.” – Audio Adrenaline Begin New Chapter With Pop-Tinged ‘Kings & Queens’ By Deborah Evans-Price, Nashville (March 13, 2013 6:00 PM EDT), Billboard.com. Listen as the guys share about their new album, Kings & Queens, and their passion for the orphan child with their work in Haiti with Hands & Feet Project. Mark SchultzListeners have come to expect inspiring and remarkable stories in songs from Mark Schultz, a 14-time Dove Award nominee and platinum-selling artist who touches hearts whether he sings about parents praying for a sick child (“He’s My Son”), or writes in honor of his great-grandmother’s sons who fought in World War II (“Letters From War”). And with his latest effort, All Things Possible, Schultz continues to tackle matters of the heart and spirit with uncommon craftsmanship–though the past five years have impacted this artist in ways he could’ve never predicted or expected. He’s lived in Europe, started the Remember Me Mission with his wife to help orphans (Schultz himself is adopted), and became a father in 2012 to a boy, Ryan Samuel Schultz. Produced by Seth Mosley (Newsboys) and Pete Kipley (MercyMe/Phil Wickham), All Things Possible has a joyous, infectious pop-rock feel that shows Schultz’ soulful tenor and tuneful melodies at their peak. Yet there’s added depth that comes as this compassionate storyteller dives deeper into using music as a vehicle for better things. Here, he quotes no less a source than theologian Frederick Buechner: “The place God calls you to is the place where your deep gladness and the world’s deep hunger meet.”
