The Inspirational Country Music Awards were held Oct. 14 in Hendersonville and Nashville, TN. This award ceremony is intended to honor and showcase the biggest names as well as surfacing talent among performing Christian and Inspirational Country music artists.
The two biggest awards of the night were handed out to Duo of the Year to The Roys at the Hendersonville location, and Entertainer of the Year to Point of Grace at the Nashville location.
The Roys, who are composted of brother and sister Lee and Elaine Roy, draw their inspiration from a wide range of experience they reflects bluegrass and country music that flooded their younger years. They are most known for their unique harmonies and songwriting abilities, which were showcased when they performed “I Wonder What God’s Thinking,” which will be included on their upcoming CD.
This is the second year in a row that The Roys have won the honor of Duo of the Year. "We are so blessed and excited to win this award again this year,” Elaine said. “We have so many people to thank, especially our Lord and Savior."
As for Point of Grace, who took home the top honor of the night, as well as a nomination for the second time for Vocal Group of the Year – a category which they won in 2009 for their first ICM Award.
Point of Grace began their run nineteen years ago and have had two GRAMMY nominations, 24 consecutive No. 1 singles, sold more than 6 million albums, and has won 10 Dove Awards. The ICM Entertainer of the Year win comes directly behind the release of their new album, Home for the Holidays.
“We are completely shocked and honored,” says Leigh Cappillino of the win. “It is so wonderful to know that all of the days spent away from home and family really paid off and we feel completely blessed that both our fans and peers have seen what we do.”
