And The Dove Goes To...

The Biggest Night in Gospel Music... Full of Surprises!


The 40th Annual Gospel Music Association Dove Awards were presented last night at the Grand Ole Opry in Nashville, TN, honoring the year's brightest and best during the LIVE, exclusive broadcast on Gospel Music Channel. For the first time in the GMA's 40 year history, music fans were given the opportunity to vote in two of the 43 award categories, "Artist of the Year" and "New Artist of the Year."

(I previously wrote a blog with my predictions about who would win Dove Awards and I have marked in red those that were correct predictions... Gee, it's obvious there's no "crystal ball" here! :-)

Here's a partial list of 2009 Dove Award winners:

Artist of the Year: Steven Curtis Chapman (chosen by music fans)

New Artist of the Year: Tenth Avenue North

Song of the Year: "Give Me Your Eyes" Brandon Heath, Jason Ingram

Male Vocalist of the Year: Brandon Heath

Female Vocalist of the Year: Natalie Grant

Group of the Year: Casting Crowns

New Artist of the Year: Tenth Avenue North (chosen by music fans)
