MURFREESBORO, Tenn. – Anticipation has continued to build since the announcement of nominees, hosts and performers in this year’s SGN Music Awards. The 2010 SGN Music Awards Celebration will take place tomorrow evening, April 13, 2010 at River of Life Church in Smyrna, Tennessee.
For the first time ever, the event will be filmed and streamed live via the internet. Fans all across the country will be able to see performances from their favorite artists and watch as many of the top names in Southern Gospel music are awarded for their achievements over the past year.
Deon Unthank, administrator for SoGospelNews.com said, “We are so excited about finally being able to stream this event live. This has always been a dream for us, and we can’t wait for others to see this program. We’ve always had so many individuals express how disappointed they were that they couldn’t attend this, our biggest event of the year. Well, now they can!â€
The Celebration will be filmed and streamed live via River of Life Church’s state of the art recording facilities, which is also the home to TCT Network’s hit show Singing at the River. A portal to the stream will be available on the SoGospelNews.com website the day of the event. The stream will be hosted on the Johnny Minick Ministries website, but it will be easily accessible through SoGospelNews.com’s home page.
In addition, Deon & Susan Unthank are proud to announce the addition of Grammy-winning powerhouse vocalist Jason Crabb to the performance lineup for tomorrow evening’s program.
“We always knew we wanted Jason to be a part of our program, and we are so thankful that we worked it out that he was able to be with us this year! We feel like this is our strongest line-up of performers. This will be an event that you won’t want to miss.â€
