This solo album was something Gillespie felt compelled to record. “I just felt so pressed upon to make a worship record that ‘the youth’ of our culture could relate with,” shared Gillespie in a recent interview with All Access. “I felt like it was time to help myself and others like myself enter into worship of our great big God.”

Supporting the forthcoming record, Gillespie is also touring across the nation for the next few months. The tour dates are listed below. Additional information on these tour dates can be found at his Facebook page, http://www.facebook.com/AaronRGillespie.

Anthem Song’s debut radio single “We Were Made For You” is currently climbing the charts. This week the single moved up five spots on the National Christian Audience Chart at No. 40, and at CHR the single is at No. 26.

Aaron recorded Anthem Song in Seattle with versatile producer Aaron Sprinkle (Jeremy Camp, Kutless). Both multi-instrumentalists, they played nearly everything on the album. Co-writers Paul Baloche, Sarah Hart, and Phillip LaRue also helped pen what is largely a very personal record. The track listing for Anthem Song is listed below.
