WASHINGTON —
Christian-based rock band Luminate, with Washington’s Sam Hancock, will soon celebrate their second album with a release concert on Aug. 29.
The band will celebrate their sophomore effort, “Welcome to Daylight,” which releases a day earlier. The band was nominated for a Dove award in 2011 for their debut title, “Come Home.”
“‘Welcome to Daylight’ is about opening your eyes for the first time and seeing this world through God’s eyes,” Hancock said in a press release.
The band has already released the first single from the album entitled “Banner of Love.” The single is currently on rotation in 55 radio stations across the country. Hancock said the album has a lot of high energy.
“Every record we have strived to consistently evolve lyrically, spiritually and musically, but for ‘Welcome to Daylight,’ we went all out,” Hancock said. “It’s a record full of hope and joy, leaving our past regrets behind, allowing the Holy Spirit to overcome our fears, and embracing the life of home and purpose that God has for all of us.
“‘Banner of Love’ is a huge jump for us musically,” Hancock said. “We are always wanting to find the next step without losing the core of who Luminate is.”
To support the album, the band will be touring in the fall, opening up for the Newsboys’ God’s Not Dead Tour. The tour will take the bands over 35 dates across the country.
But before their tour begins, Luminate will play the WHS auditorium and Hancock will get married in the fall to the daughter of contemporary Christian artist Michael W. Smith.
The concert will be at 7 p.m. on Aug. 29 at the Washington High School Auditorium.
Tickets are $12 for adults, $5 for students at the door. Advance tickets are $10 for adults and can be purchased at Touch of Heaven, and at Cherry Ghost coffee shop. Both are on Main Street in Washington.

IU still working towards sixth banner
Monday night in Atlanta, Louisville won the school’s first National Championship since the year I was born - 1986. This accomplishment is significant to Indiana basketball fans, because the last two times the Cardinals cut down the nets (1980, 1986), the Hoosiers did it the following year. The stat, of course means nothing, other than both schools had strong programs in the 1980s.
