Jeremy Camp has been actively working on his newest record Beyond Measure which is expecting to release on Halloween this Fall. The October 31st release will feature a little more experimentation from the favorite male vocalist. Camp has also been busy co-producing his wife Adrienne Liesching’s (formerly of The Benjamin Gate) debut solo record Don’t Wait, which is scheduled to release on September 28. Under the moniker Adie, listeners can expect an alt pop record in the same vein of Jeremy’s sound with plenty of Adrienne’s personal touches. Look for the two on tour together this Fall!(from Jesusfreakhideout.com NEWS)
