Releasing today, March 1st is the Know Hope Collective, courtesy of Integrity Music. After returning from a three-year hiatus, Audio Adrenaline's Mark Stuart and Will McGinniss joined with some of their favorite emerging voices of worship and partnered with Integrity to create this ground-breaking initiative that combines worship music with stories of hope and inspiration.
 
Know Hope Collective will continue to be an ever-changing group of musicians from a variety of backgrounds who come together to create worship music while sharing their unique experiences and testimonies. "The Know Hope Collective is driven from an emerging style of worship and a place of vulnerability," explains Stuart. "We go on a journey together through the good, bad and ugly to the redemptive side."
 
The talented voices shared on this unique debut project are Everlife's Julia Ross, David Leonard (former Jackson Waters, NEEDTOBREATHE, and currently with Intergrity's Sons and Daughters), and 2010 BMI Christian Music Award-winning Songwriter of the Year Jason Walker. Stuart and McGinnis used more than their musical skills on Know Hope Collective to produce the project along with Josh Heiner.

Know Hope Collective introduces new cuts, including “Jealous God,” the radio singles “Attention” and "Build Us Back," along with meditative reworks of Audio Adrenaline hits like “Ocean Floor,” “The Good Life,” and “Hands and Feet.”
 
Following "Attention," "Build Us Back" is the project's current radio single, currently at AC, CHR and INSP stations. Charts for many of these songs are currently available, which are listed below.
 
Know Hope Collective is already featured on HearItFirst.com, Rhapsody, Christian Retailing, CBA's Retailers + Resources, NewReleaseTuesday's podcast, Breathecast, CCM Magazine, and Focus On The Family's PluggedIn podcast. Upcoming coverage is slated to appear in such outlets as All Access Radio, JesusFreakHideout, ChristianMusicReview, and the Gospel Music Channel.

ABOUT KNOW HOPE COLLECTIVE
After a three-year departure, Audio Adrenaline lead singer Mark Stuart and bassist Will McGinniss partnered with Integrity Music and were joined by some of their favorite emerging voices of worship to create the ten-track album, Know Hope Collective. According to Stuart and McGinniss, the Know Hope Collective is an ever-changing group of musicians from a variety of backgrounds who come together to create worship music while sharing their unique experiences and testimonies. Know Hope Collective was produced by Stuart, McGinniss and Josh Heiner.  
 
"The Know Hope Collective is driven from an emerging style of worship and a place of vulnerability," explains Stuart. "We go on a journey together through the good, bad and ugly to the redemptive side." Stuart says the Know Hope Collective grew out of their own cathartic experience of sharing life stories with friends and church members.
 
"We'd meet at Will's around a campfire and talk vulnerably with each other about our successes as well as hardships. It was a time of healing and redemption as we discovered the evidence of God's hand in our lives like never before and the importance of telling one's story."
 
The duo’s pastor urged them to initially take their story-telling on the road, creating an intimate and hope-filled night of music, testimony and worship with friends. Since then, the Know Hope Collective has appeared across the U.S. and Canada. Additional tour plans are slated for this spring.  
 
For the Know Hope Collective CD, Stuart speaks far more now than he sings, and shares the microphone with Julia Ross (of popular Disney group Everlife), David Leonard (former Jackson Waters, NEEDTOBREATHE and currently with Sons and Daughters), and 2010 BMI Christian Music Award-winning Songwriter of the Year Jason Walker.
 
The group introduces new cuts, including “Jealous God,” the radio singles “Attention” and "Build Us Back," along with meditative reworks of Audio A hits like “Ocean Floor,” “The Good Life,” and “Hands and Feet.”
 
Following "Attention," "Build Us Back" is the project's next radio single, just released December 27th to AC, CHR and INSP stations.
 
The enhanced CD includes videos where the Know Hope Collective artists share their personal stories of hope. The project also links to additional content, including information about Hands & Feet, a ministry founded by Stuart and McGinniss to aid orphans and abandoned children.
 
Additional information, including an EPK is available at knowhopecollective.com. Song charts are available as free downloads at integritymusic.com/knowhopecollective.

“This project was birthed out of the failure I went through," Stuart says. “But the next one might be on missional living, orphan care or clean water, wherever God is leading us.”

After a three-year departure, Audio Adrenaline lead singer Mark Stuart and bassist Will McGinniss return with some of their favorite emerging voices of worship as the Know Hope Collective, a ground-breaking initiative that combines worship music with stories of hope and inspiration.

Stuart says the Know Hope Collective grew out their own cathartic experience of sharing life stories with friends and church members. "We'd meet at Will's horse farm around a campfire and talk vulnerably with each other about our successes as well as hardships. It was a time of healing and redemption as we discovered the evidence of God's hand in our lives like never before and the importance of telling one's story."
 
So the duo's pastor urged them to take their story-telling on the road, creating an intimate and hope-filled night of music, testimony and worship with friends. And the Know Hope Collective was born.
 
The Know Hope Collective Tour launches today, June 3, as the group appears with the Newsboys in Kingston, Ontario. It continues through the year with dates across the country including stops in California, Washington, Texas, Pennsylvania, Kentucky, etc. (Additional information and an updated tour schedule is available at http://knowhopecollective.com/.)
 
The Collective's first album, Know Hope, is slated to release this fall. It is an intimate pairing of songs and spoken word that plumbs the depths of McGinniss and Stuart's chart-topping heyday and post-band revelations.
 
"This first project was birthed out of the failure I went through being a singer who lost his voice," Stuart says. "But the next one might be on missional living, orphan care or clean water, whatever God is leading us to."
 
For Know Hope, Stuart speaks far more than he sings now, and shares the microphone with Julia Ross (of popular Disney group Everlife), David Leonard (former Jackson Waters vocalist and current touring member of NEEDTOBREATHE), and 2010 BMI Christian Music Award-winning Songwriter of the Year Jason Walker. The group introduces new cuts, including "Attention" and "Jealous God," and reworks some Audio A hits like "Ocean Floor," "The Good Life," and "Hands and Feet" into fresh meditative expressions of worship.
 
"All of the spoken portions also have background music, and one story itself is over 14 minutes long," says McGinniss. "So, it's a very unique, content-rich experience."

"Music and testimony have always been an integral part of how the Church worships," adds John Coleman, Integrity Music's vice president/general manager. "So, we are excited to partner with Will and Mark to develop Know Hope, which we believe will change lives and help people connect to God in a new and fresh way."
