As announced earlier, 2006 marks the final chapter in the book of Audio Adrenaline. But Mark, Will, Ben and Tyler leave us with “Adios,” a greatest hits collection.
With plans for "Adios" to hit the stores on August 1, fans can anticipate a commemorative look at the expansive career of Audio Adrenaline through the band's greatest hits along with two newly recorded songs. A special edition Adios package is slated to include a DVD containing all Audio Adrenaline videos, live performance footage and new band interviews. This package will also feature interviews from artists impacted by Audio Adrenaline, including tobyMac and Steven Curtis Chapman, as well as members of MercyMe, Pillar, Relient K and Newsboys, each talking about their shared tour experiences and favorite memories of Audio Adrenaline.
Audio Adrenaline is saying "adios" with an aggressive tour itinerary through the end of this year. As one of today's top touring attractions, known for members' explosiveness and energetic outpourings, coupled with state of the art production, the band's final touring schedule includes performing at all the major summer festivals one last time and performing on a 35-city tour with MercyMe this fall (Sept-Nov). The energy around this touring is anticipated to be very high as fans learn that this will be their last opportunity to see one of today's most successful and influential rock bands.
Although retiring due to front man Mark Stuart's ongoing vocal challenges, the band has since 1991 taken a full throttled blast of musical passion, melded it with a compassionate desire to impact the world at large and added members' rock-solid grounding in reality with their vulnerable, no holds barred songwriting. The band is also well known for its humanitarian aid and will continue its Hands and Feet Project, a non-profit organization and orphanage they formed dedicated to the health, welfare and education of orphaned children of Haiti.
