Aaron Shust honed his skills early on in coffeehouses and churches, giving his music a carefully crafted balance of intimacy and majesty. Two of the singer/songwriter's most beloved songs, 2011's “My Hope Is In You” and the contemporary standard “My Savior My God”, interlace passages of soulfully quiet introspection with bursts of worship-style passion big and rousing enough to fill a vast hall. A simple, poetic optimism courses through Shust's tunes, with his unflinching faith in the Lord's goodness reaching peak intensity on the sing-along “God of Brilliant Lights”.
