Brandon Lake and Tasha Cobbs Leonard bring back home top distinctions, in addition to Christian hip-bounce is commended.
Brandon Lake and Tasha Cobbs Leonard were among those in the champs circle on Friday night (Oct. 20), as the 54th yearly Pigeon Grants circulated on TBN.
The Gospel Music Affiliation started in 1964, and the main Pigeon Grants were held in 1969; at first, the function fundamentally regarded Southern gospel music. Yet, the honors service has extended over the course of the a long time to respect a variety of sounds and melodic styles, including pop, hip-jump, Gospel, nation, Latin and that’s only the tip of the iceberg.
During the 2023 service, which was taped recently on Oct. 17 at Lipscomb College in Nashville, Lake brought back home the vast majority of wins, procuring four prizes, including the general craftsman of the year prize.
“There are such countless individuals in this room that I turn upward to and who allowed me to compose as a young man. They express mimic before you develop,” Lake said in tolerating his craftsman of the year honor. “I have imitated so many of you a large number of years after year and tunes not making it and nobody hearing it and afterward God inhales on an unexpected surprise. I’m so thankful to be a piece of this local area.”
Cobbs Leonard brought back home two honors — gospel love collection of the year for Psalms (Live) and customary gospel recorded tune of the year — and finished off the night by performing “Weights Down.”
“This collection is a big deal to me since I’m a congregation young lady; I’m a PK [preacher’s kid],” Cobbs Leonard told the crowd in the wake of winning the night’s most memorable honor, gospel love collection of the year. She added, “One of the manners in which I learned sacred writing was through tune. I think we have an astonishing an open door to influence people in the future through our verses.”
Toby Macintosh, Gift Offor and Jeff Pardo each won two honors. Different champs included Katy Nichole (new craftsman of the year), Height Love (love collection of the year for Live From the Space), Jason Crabb and Dylan Scott (twang/country/roots recorded melody of the year for “Great Morning Benevolence”) and Lecrae (rap/hip-jump collection of the year, for Chapel Garments 4). Melody of the Year went to “Integrity Of God,” respecting musicians Ben Handling, Ed Money, Jason Ingram, Jenn Johnson, and Brian Johnson.
