Henderson, Pastor Your Church in the Market Place Lo Feast! F r i e n d s and F a m i l y Day In a finally-realized dream, worship leader, multi- instrumentalist and singer/ songwriter Austin Adamec and acclaimed vocalist, songwriter and former 1 Girl Nation member, Lindsey Adamec, have come together to record a self- titled EP from Radiate Music that celebrates the presence of God. The road to the new recording, set to release March 25, was fraught with challenges that refined the newly married couple's faith and strengthened their bond. Introduced through a microphone, and leading worship on stage together long before becoming a couple, followed by traveling separately supporting their own musical paths, the Adamecs have come to discover they are better together, in life and in music. The worship songs featured on Austin & Lindsey Adamec are anthems telling the story of personal and spiritual victory. Every aspect of the EP, from lyrics to artwork to instrumentation and musicianship, has been intentionally and meticulously crafted. Even the album cover reflects the depth of the detail. To create the cover, the Adamecs wrote all of the scriptures and stories inspiring the songs, the prayers for those who will worship along, and the lyrics themselves on a 24 by 24 wooden plank. They then painted the plank white, added a logo, and after some careful editing, the result is a message that artfully expresses all of the depth of the recording. Lindsey and Austin wanted every single thing to matter. It is not simple pictures, stories and songs; this music is an expression of life in the presence of God. Opening up the EP is the radio single, "Walk on Waves," a song birthed from the couple's deep desperation to fight for their marriage as conflicting schedules threatened to win the battle. As he studied the familiar passage of Peter walking on the waves, Austin was amazed to discover that when Jesus told Peter to "come," the wind and the waves did not die down until they were back in the boat. Lindsey and Austin understood that the spirit of God was calling them to walk above the stormy circumstances and waves of doubt that held them captive, and in the calling, "Walk on Waves" emerged. Like Peter, Lindsey, fixed her eyes on Jesus and stepped out into the waves so recently written about. After living out her dreams with successful pop band 1 Girl Nation, Lindsey stepped away from the band. And remarkably, "Walk On Waves" became the very gateway to a brand new vision for the couple. Although originally slated to be featured on a solo project Austin was working on, all those plans would change after Lindsey added her vocals to the track. "The room literally felt like it lit up and became electrified with excitement," shares Austin. It was clear that a solo artist was transforming into a duo, and that God had once again been faithful to their steps of obedience. Listen for the new single, now playing on Fayetteville's WCLN-107.3 FM, and watch for the EP to become available at your favorite music retailer or online source March 25.
