The Dove Awards. I produced ten years of this spectacle, honoring the greatest moments in Christian Music.
From the Grand Ole Opry, to Bridgestone Arena, to Muncipal Auditorium & back to the Opry…
Hundreds of artists, celebrity presenters, angst-filled managers and publicists all make producing an award show a volatile and exciting experience. I thrive on this chaos, creating platforms to help artists shine in their moment. And was successful because I could eliminate all the other clutter that was not central to that goal.
Barlow Girl was 'Never Alone' during a rare do-over, allowed after our tech problems (not theirs.)
Jars of Clay and I go over some notes backstage in '07...
Early days for Tomlin, Redman and Crowder ('05)
Kiki Sheard and Jason Crabb. I would stop and just listen whenever they sang.
Smoky Norful and Rebecca St. James were a fun hosting pair!
Bart Millard and MercyMe brought NASCAR's Bobby Labonte to present with them.
