Alan Bibey & Grasstowne received twelve nominations on the IBMA 2nd Ballot!
We appreciate your consideration and look forward to seeing you soon!
We can't tell you how blessed and grateful we feel this year! Grasstowne has just released our first full-length gospel project, and it has already far surpassed our wildest dreams!
Specifically, the title track "Gonna Rise and Shine" has meant so much to us personally, and we're so glad to know that others have found a blessing in it too. We love Barney Rogers for writing such a great song, and we are also thrilled with our brand new all-gospel label, Morning Glory Music. We cannot thank the DJs and fans enough for helping us share this song.
While we appreciated your support on the Gospel Song of the Year category ONCE, with the reissue of the 2nd Ballots in the category, we hope you will consider casting your votes in our direction one more time. Your support and loyalty is what keeps us going and we are so grateful!
Thank you and God Bless you all,
Alan Bibey & Grasstowne
