The final stop on the tour, November 12, will be on the legendary stage of the Grand Ole Opry at the historic Ryman Auditorium in Nashville, TN.

Another honor for the talented couple was their third career Dove nomination in August for their 2011 album, Hymns for a Christian Life, in the Inspirational Album category. Worship Leader magazine called the project, an extraordinary new album, with Music News Nashville saying, All in all, a stunning collection! The album, which includes duets with Alison Krauss, Ricky Skaggs, and Moya Brennan, features the song, "Christ Is Risen, He Is Risen Indeed," that reached top five on Billboard's Soft AC chart earlier this year.

"Kristyn and I are grateful for the acknowledgement of this album," says Keith Getty. "For two kids who come from the other side of the Atlantic, and who have now made their home in Nashville, we continue to be pleased and thankful for the support we find here in the states. Among our new Nashville friends are Charlie Peacock and Ed Cash who, along with our Irish friend, Fionan de Barra, produced the album and brought every song to life in a most refreshing way."
