Pittsburgh's Aaron Shust readies 'Doxology' album

DOVE AWARD-winning singer/songwriter Aaron Shust will release his album 'Doxology' through Centricity Music on 28th August. The project was recorded in Nashville and produced by David Crowder Band's renowned drummer, Christian Paschall. Labelmate Lauren Daigle guests on the track "Nothing More". In recent times Shust has had to deal with the serious health problems of his two youngest sons. He said, "In the first chapter of Job we see that Job was able to worship even in the midst of his grief, but he wasn't ready to celebrate yet. I can relate to that. Four years ago I could worship, even in the midst of suffering, but I wasn't ready to celebrate. It's not that circumstances aren't still hard sometimes. I still have to remind myself that God's promises are true. But having walked through what we've walked through as a family, and having experienced God's comfort and faithfulness in deeper ways than we ever had before, there's an air of celebration and expectancy that wasn't there before."

'Doxology' was inspired by Shust's current role as worship leader for his hometown church in the Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania area. He continued, "I have always been a part of the local church, and my new album is inspired by my time leading worship in the church. A doxology is a liturgy of praise to God, like a short exaltation at the end of a New Testament letter, or a song sung at the end of a church service. These songs are like a playlist for a praise and worship 'after party' at the end of time, around the Throne, celebrating the crowning of Jesus as King of Kings and Lord of Lords."
