Nashville - October 16, 2018 - The Christian Festival Association (CFA), a group of the nation's largest Christian music festivals, announced today that "AC & Brady" have been selected as the winners of its 2018 CFA National Talent Search Competition.

AC & Brady won the regional the talent search competition at JoshuaFest, held in Quincy, California in July. The band was selected by a national panel of judges from among a group of talented Christian artists who had also won regional competitions at eight of the forty-one CFA festivals conducted from coast to coast in 2018. As a result of their overall victory, AC & Brady will receive a full performance slot at all eight participating 2019 CFA events.

AC & Brady are Anthony Carrai Jr. and Brady Novak. Both Anthony and Brady are driven by making an impact on the culture. They continually push each other artistically and personally. While their catchy beats and memorable lyrics draw fans of all ages, the guys are intentional on the purpose behind their music. The goal is to connect real music that addresses real life to real people. "We want to represent the ups and downs of everyday life, offering hope and also an insight to overcoming and dealing with struggles and successes," said Brady and Anthony. The artists' website is acjrandbradyjames.com.

"Choosing one winning artist among an incredibly diverse and talented group of regional festival winners was a very difficult task for our panel of judges," said CFA president Donna Russo. "Ultimately, I believe they have chosen a duo of young men who are passionate about making a difference in culture for the Kingdom of God."
