Grammy winner Audio Adrenaline blown by 'God's Faithfulness'
God does works according to His time. After receiving 4 Grammy Award nominations which resulted in no Grammy, Audio Adrenaline “never thought [they] would have the honor of winning a Grammy.” But after a fifth Grammy nomination this year, Audio Adrenaline won an award at the 46th Annual Grammy Awards for “Best Rock Gospel Album,” Worldwide, which released Feb. 25 of last year.
”Once again we are blown away by God's faithfulness,” said lead singer Mark Stuart. “Thanks to everyone who voted and a special thanks to ForeFront Records, BrickHouse Entertainment, William Morris Agency, Bridge Street Artists Agency and to our producers and engineers, Jason Burkum, Charlie Peacock, Nathan Dantzler, Aaron Swihart,Richie Biggs, Shane Wilson, Tony Palacios and Joe Baldridge."
ForeFront Records’ president Greg Ham added, "After five Grammy nominations, I'm so proud of this band and their first big Grammy win! Audio Adrenaline has always been committed to creating stellar rock music for the youth culture of today and it's an honor to see their latest release, ‘Worldwide’, embraced by the NARAS voters. They've had an excellent year and we are grateful for this success."
