Independent Music Awards names “God’s Favorite Band” Best Gospel Album
We’re pleased to announce that the Independent Music Awards have named God’s Favorite Band, by the Asylum Street Spankers, as “Best Gospel Album” in their 10th annual awards.
The winners in more than 70 Song, Album, Music Video and Design categories, winnowed from thousands of submissions from around the globe, were determined by a panel of 62 influential music industry pros. We’re thinking it was Tom Waits’ vote that put the Spankers over the top.
Voting now continues in the “Vox Populi” category, where another set of winners will be determined directly by music fans from around the world.
Check out the Independent Music Awards’ interview with the Spankers here. And don’t forget to vote in the Vox Populi category by July 11!
