Nashville, Tenn. – February 15, 2008 – Nominations were announced yesterday for the 39th Annual GMA Dove Awards (www.doveawards.com) by the Gospel Music Association (GMA). Amongst newcomers leading the field alongside established artists, producers and songwriters, Word recording artist, Point of Grace garnered five nominations.
Award winning and Platinum-selling artist, Point Of Grace’s current Dove Award nominations highlight the success of the group’s current chart-topping radio single and music video for the title track, “How You Live (Turn Up the Music)” from their latest studio project How You Live, which had been played on Great American Country’s Sunday morning show “Positively GAC.” After performing in front of hundreds of thousands of fans and selling over eight million albums, Shelley Breen, Leigh Cappillino, Denise Jones and Heather Payne deliver a compelling collection of songs that invite the listener to examine their priorities and take stock of their lives on How You Live, produced by Brown Banister (Amy Grant, Building 429, Steven Curtis Chapman).
How You Live, released nationwide on August 28, 2007, also has been creating buzz on sites such as MTV.com and E Online.com with news of its chart rank from street week sales. Landing on the chart at #56, Point of Grace’s How You Live debut proved noteworthy to the frequently visited entertainment news sites along with other Christian music acts Casting Crowns, Mercy Me and Caedmon’s Call. The highly anticipated project is the first new studio release in almost three years from one of the most notable and successful female groups in Christian music history.
The Dove Awards is Christian/Gospel music’s biggest night of the year, where top artists from every style of gospel music come together for a night of music and celebration as the GMA bestows the industry’s highest honor -- the Dove Award. This year’s nominations were announced at the Loews Vanderbilt Hotel by award-winning contemporary Christian singer/songwriter Michael W. Smith and Atlanta media personality and Gospel Music Channel’s Kitchen Sink host, Elle Duncan.
Dove statuettes will be handed out on April 23, 2008 at the Grand Ole Opry House in Nashville. The awards show will be televised in national syndication in May.
