Fresh off of her Ryman Auditorium headline debut, PLATINUM-certified, GRAMMY-nominated artist and songwriter Anne Wilson took home the award for Bluegrass/Country/Roots Album of the Year for her recent album REBEL at the 55th annual GMA Dove Awards. Wilson also captivated the crowd with a performance of her No. 1 Christian radio hit “Strong,” joined by producer, writer and longtime collaborator Jeff Pardo.

“I am so thankful that my album REBEL won Bluegrass/Country/Roots Album of the Year!!! This record was so fun to write and such a freeing experience for me,” shares Wilson. “I’m so grateful for the writers and producers that poured their talents into this record. Thank you GMA Doves for all you do for this community. I love y’all! All glory to God!”

The awards ceremony, which took place on Tuesday, Oct. 1 at the Allen Arena in Nashville, Tenn., aired tonight (10/4) exclusively on TBN and TBN+ and simulcast on SiriusXM The Message at 8 p.m. and 10 p.m. ET. With this award, Wilson brings her Dove total to three wins in the last two years.

Just days before, Wilson performed to a sold-out audience during her Ryman Auditorium headline debut as part of her nationwide The REBEL Tour. The night featured a special guest appearance by reigning ACM Song of the Year winner Jordan Davis, who joined Wilson for a rendition of their duet “Country Gold” from REBEL.

Fans echoed every word from the Ryman’s hallowed pews as she performed her breakthrough country hits and chart-topping Christian singles.

The GMA Dove Awards win and her sold-out Mother Church debut come on the heels of the release of Wilson’s latest track, “Stand.” Penned by Wilson, Matthew West, Jeff Pardo and Jonathan Smith, “Stand” sees “bright production and a balanced country-pop instinct” become “a shining foil for her powerful, twangy vocal and a message of holding fast to one’s convictions,” Billboard praises.

Wilson will continue to bring her mesmerizing performance to her nearly sold-out The REBEL Tour with special guest Jordan Rowe throughout the fall.
