NETFLIX was proud to showcase their upcoming series, “All the Light We Cannot See” with an exclusive and intimate screening co-hosted by Grammy-nominated artist Natalie Grant, fashion & lifestyle guru Hunter Premo, and renowned Mom maven, author Jessica Turner.
Nashville’s influencers, Jess Conte, Gabriel Conte, “Facebook Marketplace” Tiktok comedian Chris Guerra, Julia Haven, Ashley Hetherington and Matthew Paul Turner, attended the exclusive event at Soho House.
After the screening, the attendees held a lively conversation about the themes throughout the series: the power of community and hope, love of family, and finding light in the midst of profound darkness.
Natalie Grant said, “What struck me about the series was the power of words. The fact that she believed that she could withstand. Not just the character but the actress. Marie says, ‘in this time of stupid darkness what are we saying?’ and I find that so timely.
We have so much power in our words. Hunter Premo said, “What struck me as a mother, was Mark Ruffalo’s character and everything he did as a father to prepare his daughter for the world. I also was moved by the notion that light goes on even in the darkness.”
Jessica Turner said, “When I watched this series, I didn’t remember the story’s plot because I read it 9 years ago. But I did remember the feeling. The series made me feel the exact same way I felt when I read the book. So powerful!”
“All the Light We Cannot See” premieres November 2nd on Netflix. Be sure to follow Netflix on social media platforms for updates and announcements on this thrilling miniseries.

World-renowned genre pioneers The Brooklyn Tabernacle Choir—flagship artist of new independent Gospel Music label StowTown Worship—added to a cadre of prestigious accolades with two historic wins at last week’s 54th Annual GMA Dove Awards in Nashville. Garnering trophies for Inspirational Recorded Song of the Year for “He’s Been Faithful” (feat. TaRanda Greene) and Musical/Choral Collection of the Year for A Night of Worship with The Brooklyn Tabernacle, the famed ensemble brought home StowTown Worship’s first-ever Dove Awards.

TaRanda Greene) is among the highlights of the group’s 2022 StowTown Worship debut, A Night of Worship with The Brooklyn Tabernacle. Inspirational, Gospel and contemporary melodies enveloped in sweeping orchestral arrangements hallmark the 11-song live set, which was produced by Cymbala along with J. Daniel Smith.
“I’m accepting this award on behalf of my mother, Carol Cymbala,” said Susan Pettrey, upon receiving The Brooklyn Tabernacle Choir’s Dove for Inspirational Recorded Song of the Year. “I am so proud of her. She’s poured her life out, and I’ve seen her on her face crying out to God for songs from Heaven that would lead people to Jesus and draw them close to Him. She’s given her life to that. She does this for Him; for His name to be glorified and lifted up. He has been so faithful.”
In addition, A Night of Worship with The Brooklyn Tabernacle won the Dove Award for Musical/Choral Collection of the Year. Arranged by Cymbala, the compilation was orchestrated by J. Daniel Smith, Chris McDonald, Jim Hammerly and Bradley Knight.
“On behalf of The Brooklyn Tabernacle Choir and StowTown Worship, we are so honored for the opportunity to showcase such a great collection of music,” said Landon Beene, president, StowTown Records/StowTown Worship. “Choral music is alive and well and relevant today, so it’s a privilege to present this music and make it available for the Church at large. We’re grateful to the Gospel Music Association and our peers for recognizing our efforts.”
“The music of The Brooklyn Tabernacle Choir has, for over 20 years, been a balm to my soul,” adds Mary Alice Lovelace, director of communications & creative services, StowTown Records/StowTown Worship. “Ministry is always at the forefront of what they do, and it is an absolute honor for our team at StowTown Worship, along with our partners at Sony/Provident, to share this music with the world.”

Her Christmas song “Sounding Joy” was named “Children’s Recorded Song of the Year.” She was also nominated for Christmas/Special Event Album of the Year for her Christmas album, which included the winning song.
“I was overjoyed, honored, and delighted to win the Dove for Children’s Recorded Song of the Year,” shares Ellie Holcomb.
“One of my favorite things is writing music that helps little hearts carry around big truths. My prayer is that every kid from 1 to 92 will repeat the sounding joy of the good news of the Christmas story! Grateful to work with incredible producers like my dad, Brown Bannister, and Nathan Dugger, who produced this record so beautifully. And honored to be in the company of the other nominees, my fellow brothers and sisters, making beautiful music about the most beautiful story I know.”
Sing: Christmas Songs was Holcomb’s first Christmas EP and was featured on HuffPost’s “New Christmas Music” list. The nominated project and song were released alongside her latest children’s book, Sounding Joy, which landed at No. 4 on ECPA’s Christian juvenile best-sellers, Christmas 2022 list and was a Top 10 Amazon Best Seller for Children’s books.
