Brandon Heath Named Artist of the Year at 39th Annual GMA Dove Awards
The official press release...
(Nashville, Tenn.) April 24, 2008 - Acclaimed singer/songwriter Brandon Heath scored a huge win last night in his hometown of Nashville by taking home the Dove for New Artist of the Year at the 39th Annual GMA Dove Awards. Heath claimed the coveted New Artist title due largely to the success of his debut project, Don't Get Comfortable, which contained the night's Song of the Year nominee, "I'm Not Who I Was," a No. 1 smash-hit that was also nominated in the Pop/Contemporary Recorded Song category and granted Heath his first Songwriter of the Year nod.
"I'm from here in Nashville so it's an honor to accept this award in front of my peers and my parents," Heath told Nashville's CBS affiliate NewsChannel 5. "It was a fun thing!"
Heath said backstage during a press conference, "It is truly an honor to be recognized for hard work and good songwriting. I am thankful to work with such a talented and committed team of managers, producers and label staff, and I'm really looking forward to the next chapter!"
Brandon Heath currently resides in Houston, Texas, and is a worship leader at The Loft church located in The Woodlands. He is currently preparing for the late summer release of his highly anticipated sophomore album titled What If We.
Heath quickly became a fixture at Christian radio with the release of his debut project. His mega-hit "I'm Not Who I Was" raced to No. 1 and ended 2007 as one of the year's most played radio singles. His debut project also delivered the 2007 Dove-nominated, Top 5 radio hit, "Our God Reigns." Heath has been a respected writer in the Nashville music community for years, collaborating with well-known artists like Bebo Norman, Matt Wertz and Dave Barnes, to name a few. The Nashville native first began writing at age 13 and credits the town's legendary hotspot for songwriters, the Bluebird Café, as the place he first experienced music that moved him.
The Gospel Music Association (GMA) Dove Awards show was presented at the Grand Ole Opry House in Nashville and broadcast live on Gospel Music Channel.

Benefit Concert Raises Nearly $20,000 For TN Tornado Victims
Last night, acclaimed singer/songwriter Brandon Heath assembled Nashville's Christian music community for a free concert benefitting their neighbors in Macon County, Tenn., hit hard by a tornado on Feb. 5. The local event raised $18,690 and committed 85 volunteers to join in the clean-up efforts and help rebuild the storm-torn area.
Held at Fellowship Bible church, Heath invited fellow artist-friends to a songwriters-in-the-round show featuring intimate performances by Bebo Norman, Christy Nockels, formerly part of husband/wife duo "Watermark," and SESAC's Songwriter of the Year Jason Ingram. Plus, Michael W. Smith made a surprise appearance and performed several songs to close out the night. (Click over to the "photos" section for a group photo of the performers.)
"I am blown away by the response of the community," Heath said. "It was great to have my friends there on stage with me, as well as in the audience." He adds, "To see people wanting to reach out to their neighbors, not only responding financially, but wanting to give of themselves physically by signing up to go into the destruction and help rebuild was amazing!"
The concert was pulled together by Heath in less than 10 days after he visited the ravished county last week to help in the clean-up work. The devastating storms left 17 people dead and 150 homes and businesses destroyed. All the funds collected last night will go directly to the Macon County disaster relief fund administered by the Bledsoe Baptist Association.
Benefit Concert for the Victims of the Macon County Tornados
Inspired by a passage of Scripture he heard this past Sunday (Nehemiah 4:1-9), Brandon has quickly organized a concert that will benefit the victims of the tornados that swept through Macon County in Tennessee earlier this month. The event is free, but there will be a love offering taken to benefit those who have been affected by this terrible tragedy that killed 17 people and destroyed 150 homes and businesses.
Event Details: Sunday, March 2, 2008 at 7 p.m. Fellowship Bible Church 1210 Franklin Road, Brentwood, TN 37027 Confirmed artists include: Brandon Heath, Bebo Norman, Christy Nockels & Jason Ingram
Please help spread the word about this worthwhile cause & come help restore this community and the lives of our neighbors!
