On last week, our correspondents descended upon the campus of Lipscomb University in Nashville, Tennessee for the 48th Annual Gospel Music Association Dove Awards. The night celebrated every genre and sub-genre within the Christian and Gospel music communities.
Full 2017 Dove Awards recap
Continuing its trend toward diversity, the award show made sure to not only award but showcase the various genres throughout the show and pre-show.
Believing that though the genres and musical styles differ, the message of Jesus is what they all have in common. This year’s theme was “Sound the Remedy” and GMA President and Executive Director Jackie Patillo said of this year’s event: “We believe that Jesus is the remedy. This is an opportunity for us to come together as a united front and proclaim the name of Jesus. We’re celebrating our Christian soldiers on the front line.”
Congratulations to all the nominees and winners. You can watch the telecast and re-broadcast on TBN.
