Rock band Ashes Remain has announced their upcoming "What I've Become" tour that kicks off this April in Nashville. The tour is named for their 2011 album, celebrating its 15-year anniversary. They are joined by special guest Stephen Stanley, the singer-songwriter behind "No Hopeless Soul."
What I've Become explores remembering mistakes, feeling desperation, and ultimately finding hope in Christ. The album's second song, "On My Own," which boasts over 180 million streams on Spotify, sums it up well with this line: "My God, I need a hope I can't deny/In the end, I'm realizing I was never meant to fight on my own."
What I've Become remains the band's most popular album. The current members are lead singer Josh Smith, guitarist Ryan Nalepa, drummer Ben Kirk, lead guitarist and backup singer Rob Tahan, and bassist Nathan Heavel.
