Scott Robinson of Eighth Day said, “We are very honored to have received this nomination.  We would like to thank the staff at SoGospelNews.com for honoring us like this.”

Eighth Day is joined in the Breakthrough Artist of the Year category by Aaron & Amanda Crabb, Crabb Revival, Driven Quartet, and Shiloh.

In addition, the trio’s latest release, Everything Holy, landed a nomination in the category of Country/Bluegrass Album of the Year.

Deon Unthank, administrator of SoGospelNews.com said, “Eighth Day makes high quality recordings, and Everything Holy is no different.  It definitely deserved this nomination!”

Everything Holy is nominated alongside projects by Mike & Kelly Bowling, Doyle Lawson & Quicksilver, The Glovers, and Misty Freeman.

Nominees for the SGN Music Awards were decided on by the staff of SoGospelNews.com.  Winners will be announced at a special Awards Celebration.  The date of the 2009 SGN Music Awards Celebration is Tuesday, April 14, 2009.  The event will be held in Smyrna, Tennessee at the River of Life Church.  Additional information such as performers and hosts will be announced at a later date.
