Nichole Nordeman will load the bus this fall, leading a limited US tour which includes stops in Houston, Atlanta, Phoenix, Sacramento and her home town of Dallas. Nordeman, one of the most celebrated songwriters in Christian music today, is widely known for writing evocative songs like her most recent R&R #1, “Brave”, “Holy,” “Every Season” and “Legacy”.

Armed with what Relevant Magazine calls “a voice that is as soothing as it is passionate,” the two-time female vocalist of the year and eight-time Dove Award Winner promises to bring a unique concert experience with her very special guest Aaron Shust. "This fall tour is shaping up to be something special. It is always an exciting challenge to find new ways of taking music that was so fulfilling to write and record, and present it live. It's been awhile since I've had the privilege of connecting with friends and fellow kingdom builders out on the road and I'm so looking forward to sharing some new music along side some other familiar songs, in an intimate, creative and worshipful evening. Part of my excitement stems from having newcomer Aaron Shust as part of this tour. I have no doubt that audiences will share my new enthusiasm for his music. He's the real deal."

For the last five years, Aaron Shust has served as a full-time staff member and worship leader at Perimeter Church, a progressive, 27-year-old congregation in Atlanta, GA. Beyond that community, Aaron leads worship throughout the United States at new churches, adult retreats and youth camps, placing his songwriting fingers firmly on the pulse of the church’s devotion. His debut project, Anything Worth Saying, was recently released to rave reviews with his first radio single, “Matchless,” quickly becoming one of Christian radio’s most added songs. Shust is managed by Blanton Harrell Cooke and Corzine, and joins the company’s roster of best-selling, award-winning artists and authors such as Amy Grant, Michael W. Smith, Frank Peretti, Joy Williams, Bebo Norman and Point of Grace. Additionally, Aaron recently signed an exclusive booking agreement with Third Coast Artist Agency (MercyMe, Jeremy Camp, David Crowder).

Timed with the kick off of the fall BRAVE Tour, Nordeman and EMI CMG will make the special edition version of Brave available for purchase and download at all digital service providers beginning on October 18. This collection includes four acoustic bonus tracks originally featured only on the limited retail release Brave Special Edition, with two songs from Brave ('Brave' and 'What If') and two never before released songs, 'The Altar' and 'Miles'. The latter, a poignant ballad written by Nordeman about the journey of two moms as a baby boy fell victim to tragedy. In bittersweet circumstance, the loss of his life ended up saving that of baby Miles through the gift of a heart donation. Part of the proceeds from the sale of this bundle will go directly to Miles and his family, who recently celebrated Miles' first birthday.
