56th Annual GMA Dove Award Nominees Announced

The Gospel Music Association has dropped the list for the 56th Annual Dove Awards — and it’s full of both legends and fresh faces.

Brandon Lake tops the pack with 9 nominations. Other major names include CeCe Winans, Lauren Daigle, Phil Wickham, Forrest Frank, and Jelly Roll. The Artist of the Year category is loaded with talent.

New voices are making waves too. First-time nominees like Leanna Crawford, Abbie Gamboa, Megan Woods, Patrick Mayberry, Caleb Gordon, and Chelsea Plank highlight a bold and vibrant future for gospel and Christian music. You can also listen to the GMA nominee playlists now on Apple Music, Spotify, Amazon Music, and Pandora.

Check out these important dates and details:

This year’s theme, “Creation Sings,” puts the spotlight on the divine spark behind every song. Host Tauren Wells puts it plainly: “Our music echoes a greater song—the one God began when He spoke the world into existence.”

About Randi Myles:

I am a child of God that has a lot to say.

Here you will find conversations with artists, authors, speakers, and teachers within the faith-based community. Also, my journey has been colorful, rich, and sometimes really hard so, I look for answers and respite through these posts. My mom wanted me to write a book and I'm working on that, so bear with me as I fumble my way through.

I am working on balancing my extremely fun work life with my personal life that is filled with challenges these days. I know that God will see me to victory so... welcome to my life.
