Hendersonville, Tenn. (April 28, 2008) - Daywind recording artist, Austins Bridge took home their first Dove Award for Bluegrass Recorded Song Of The Year, “He’s In Control,” at the 39th Annual Gospel Music Association’s Dove Awards last Wednesday night. The show, held at the Grand Ole Opry House in Nashville, was broadcast live nationwide on the Gospel Music Channel television network and XM Satellite Radio.

The song, from their self-titled debut album, Austins Bridge, was co-written by group members Justin Rivers and Mike Kofahl, along with Daywind veteran songwriter, John Darin Rowsey. This is the first Dove for all three of the writers.

John Darin Rowsey was there to accept the award and he had this to say of his experience as a Dove recipient. “I cannot describe how shocked I was that our song was even nominated in a category with such incredible legends of Bluegrass music. When we won, I was truly at a loss for words. I thanked God while walking to the podium, and the rest was a blur. What a true honor and an amazing night.”

Austins Bridge burst on to the Christian music scene less than two years ago, and in that short amount of time, they have seen successes that some wait a lifetime to experience. They have appeared on major events nationwide including Winterfest, the Franklin Graham Crusade, Gaitherfest, and more.
