RED COLLECTS THREE DOVE AWARD NOMINATIONS
Band Receives Nominations in the Categories of Rock Album, Rock Recorded Song, and Short Form Music Video
Modern rock band Red can add three Dove Award nominations to its growing list of accolades. At yesterday’s press conference announcing the 38th Annual Gospel Music Association (GMA) Dove Award nominees at the Renaissance Hotel in downtown Nashville, Tenn., the band learned of its nominations in the categories Rock Album, End of Silence; Rock Recorded Song, “Breathe Into Me”; and Short Form Music Video, “Breathe Into Me”. The Dove Awards will be handed out on April 25, 2007 at the Grand Ole Opry House in Nashville. The awards show will be televised in national syndication in May.
Red guitarist, Anthony Armstrong, comments on the nominations, “We could not be more excited that we received three Dove Award nominations. We have dreamed of this moment ever since we were going to Christian festivals as teenagers – and for it to be here for us, truly is a dream come true. We are very thankful for this opportunity.”
Since the June 6, 2006 release of its debut album, End of Silence (Essential Records), Red has toured non-stop, collected two No. 1 radio singles (“Breathe Into Me” and “Already Over”), collected three Dove Award nominations, and received a GRAMMY nomination in the category Best Rock or Rap Gospel Album for End of Silence. With currently more than 55,000 fans on MySpace (www.myspace.com/dropofRed), Red makes it a priority to write each and every fan back personally and let them know how much their support is appreciated. The five-member band is: Mike Barnes, lead vocals; Anthony Armstrong, guitar; Randy Armstrong, bass; Jasen Rauch, guitar; and Hayden Lamb, drums. End of Silence was produced by Dove-nominated producer/songwriter Rob Graves and mixed by Ben Grosse (Red Hot Chili Peppers, Fuel, Sixpence None the Richer).
