Artists Added To GMA Honors Celebration

The inaugural GMA Honors Celebration and Hall of Fame induction has added special guests David Crowder, dc Talk (TobyMac, Michael Tait, Kevin Max), Earnest Pugh, Ellie Bannister Holcomb, Kirk Whalum, Lenny LeBlanc and Steven Curtis Chapman to its lineup.

The GMA Honors and Hall of Fame Induction will take place April 29 at Lipscomb University’s Allen Arena in Nashville. Previously announced performers include Amy Grant and Michael W. Smith. Jay Sekulow, Chief Counsel of the American Center for Law and Justice, will host the evening’s program.

The GMA has also announced the “Love Your Country. Vote. Faith Family and Freedom Tour” as this year’s presenting sponsor. The tour, produced by Rendy Lovelady and RLM/Mission Management, will bring Country and Gospel artists together to encourage Americans to vote.

The previously announced Honors recipients are Dr. Bobby Jones, Don Moen, Michael Guido, Show Hope and World Vision. Hall of Fame inductees will include Brown Bannister, Gaither Vocal Band, Rich Mullins and Take 6.

“We’re excited about this opportunity to raise awareness for the legacy of Gospel music. Each of these inductees or honorees has made a definitive mark on the fabric of our musical tapestry. While each has different gifts and has contributed in different ways, all of their stories highlight God’s faithfulness. We’ll be able to celebrate this through GMA Honors with some very special friends and truly inspiring performances,”  says GMA Executive Director, Jackie Patillo.

Individual tickets or full tables are available for purchase, which include full dinner service with our honorees and guests. Contact the GMA office at service@gospelmusic.org.
