Tye Tribbett + Maverick City Music Garner Grammy Nominations
Yesterday the nominations for the 65th Annual Grammy Awards were announced; among those receiving nominations included one of our favorites Maverick City Music, who earned five nominations.
Maverick City Music earned nominations in both the Gospel and Contemporary Christian Categories – and double in Contemporary Christian Music Performance/Song.
In 2022, the group won Best Contemporary Christian Music Album . At that show, Maverick City Music became the first in the genre in more than two decades to perform during the televised ceremony.
“Everything about this project broke the mold for what ‘success’ is supposed to look and feel like. We recorded this record, Kingdom, with our dear brother Kirk Franklin, during one of the largest prison gatherings in American history. ?We decided to go behind bars to not just highlight the pain of mass incarceration, but to demonstrate God’s love in a way that you don’t see very often,” stated Maverick City Music co-founders & Grammy Award-winning producers and songwriters, Tony Brown and Jonathan “JJ” Jay.
“Of course we want to thank Kirk, our entire team, the staff and residents at Everglades correctional facility, Wardens Colon and Siegler, Tribl Records, and RCA Inspiration,” they continue. “And, we have to thank all of our fans and supporters. To God be the glory.”
The collective recently kicked off the second leg of their box-office record-shattering “Kingdom Tour” with Kirk Franklin at a sold out Barclays Center in New York City. The trek, which has consistently appeared in the Top 10 on Pollstar’s Live75 list, goes until the end the year.
Congratulations also to Tye Tribbett, who garnered two nominations for the 65th Annual Grammy Awards in the following categories: Best Gospel Album and Best Gospel Performance/Song. This marks his twelfth career nomination.
“As always I’m grateful,” states Tye Tribbett. “I put a lot of time, focus, and intent into All Things New and to have your work recognized on this platform is an amazing honor.”
