This marks 11 GRAMMY® nominations for Tomlin, who previously won this award in 2012 for his album And If Our God Is For Us...

Recently making his Grand Ole Opry debut at the Ryman Auditorium in Nashville, Tomlin performed his chart-topping single "Good Good Father" as well as a track from ADORE: Christmas Songs of Worship, which debuted at No. 1 on Billboard's Holiday Albums Chart.

Tomlin kicked off his sold-out "Adore Christmas Tour," featuring Crowder and Lauren Daigle, this past weekend in Knoxville. For additional information, click here.

This nomination marks the second consecutive nod in this category for Crowder who was recognized last year for "Come As You Are," also found on Neon Steeple. After a music video filled with camera shots captured by drones, complete with lasers, neon and banjos which exclusively premiered on Billboard.com, "Lift Your Head Weary Sinner (Chains)" also proved to be a radio hit for Crowder. While touring across the U.S., Crowder surprised fans in late October when he dropped the digital Neon Porch Extravaganza, a live album recorded in his new hometown of Atlanta. Neon Porch Extravaganza features six newly recorded live songs and a video element from Neon Steeple, which boldly debuted at No. 8 on the Billboard Top 200.
