'hristian music seeks
idience at Dove Awards
■SHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — The
■cries “Touched by an Angel”
proven spirituality can earn big
itings, and now contemporary
hristian music wants to show it
Mis to a wide audience.
Bth superstar Whitney Houston
jjrming, the industry will be on
play Thursday for a national tele-
|on audience during the 29th An-
M)ove Awards. “It’s our mission
taki it to a broader audience,”
icffrank Breeden, president of the
jspel Music Association. “We
owour best, and in typical Amer-
in style it’s an awards show. It’s a
ace for you to take a sample of
nlthing that you may not nor-
Tknow anything about.”
Jilin Tesh, former host of
tertainment Tonight,” will be
pst with country singer Naomi
To support the notion of the
jusic’s new popularity, Tesh cited
^^fctening habits of his 16-year-
jbn, starting with Led Zeppelin,
■rix, then the Christian band
of Clay.
Bit’s really starting to spread that
tay," said Tesh, who recently struck
deal to have his instrumental ai
ms Nold in Christian bookstores.
Hie Dove Awards will be
foadcast live from 7 p.m. to 9
m. EDT on The Nashville Net-
ork. Votes come from the asso-
ation’s 6,000 members.
■rty-one categories include
a^Hip Hop Album, Spanish Tan
nage Album and Bluegrass
Nprded Song. Steven Curtis
Biman is most nominated — up
ra ards in seven categories, in-
■ng best artist, song writer and
ale vocalist.
Boducers are thrilled that
ouston has agreed to perform “I
To The Rock” from her best-
iUing gospel album. The song,
Mr e soundtrack of her movie
MPreacher’s Wife, is nominated
Be Traditional Gospel Record-
Song category. Houston boy-
*(|ted the Grammys this year be-
K e her album was nominated
&B, not gospel.
||esh will perform on the piano
fith vocalist James Ingram. Other
Kormers include Chapman, Jars
ifciay, Bob Carlisle, Michael W.
fth and God’s Property with
franklin.
he industry is trumpeting 32
ent growth in sales from 1996 to
|7. But that figure is questionable
luse it includes four million in
of country singer LeAnn
es’ You Light Up My Life: Inspi-
nal Songs.
itill, there is evidence that Chris-
music is growing. Invading the
stream, rock groups Jars of Clay
dcTalk have sold millions of al
ls in recent years. Carlisle had a
sh last year with his song about
laughter, “Butterfly Kisses.”
