Last year, artist/songwriter Chris Tomlin went home with an impressive five Dove Awards. Last week, he added six more trophies as the most honored artist at the 38th Annual Dove Awards, held at the Grand Ole Opry House in Nashville. Newcomer Aaron Shust was also a major honoree with three Doves.
Tomlin’s six Dove Awards include Artist of the Year and Male Vocalist of the Year, two honors he repeats for the second year. “Holy Is The Lord,” a song he co-wrote with Louie Giglio, earned him another trophy, as did his involvement in the Special Event Album of the Year, Passion: Everything Glorious. His most current CD release, See the Morning, accounted for two more awards, as it was honored as both the Pop/Contemporary Album of the Year and Praise & Worship Album of the Year.
Shust marks his Dove Awards debut with three of the evening’s most prestigious honors, including Songwriter and New Artist of the Year. He also was honored for writing “My Savior My God,” named Song of the Year. Aaron came back with his dove awards and cried when someone asked him if tonight would change him. He said that he's a sinner saved by grace and tomorrow he would be a sinner saved by grace.
