Keith & Kristyn Getty Earn First GRAMMY® Nomination for Confessio – Irish American Roots, Best Roots Gospel Album.

Confessio – Irish American Roots traces the Gettys’ journey back to their native homeland to explore the connection between Ireland’s enduring faith music heritage and its legacy in America.

The album was recorded on the North Coast of Ireland during the lockdowns and showcases 15 modern and timeless hymns, highlighting traditional Irish melodies and instrumentation, while also featuring performances by a musically diverse array of stellar guests including multiple GRAMMY-winning artists such as Alison Krauss, Kirk Whalum and bluegrass icon Ricky Skaggs.

The Getty’s songs are sung by an estimated 100 million+ people each year. As ambassadors of hymn writing, the Gettys have performed for presidents and prime ministers, and their annual national hymn tour and Christmas tour regularly sell out venues such as The Kennedy Center and Carnegie Hall.

In 2017, Keith was honored as an Officer of the Order of the British Empire by Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II.

“We made this album when we were home with our daughters in Northern Ireland during Covid,” said Keith and Kristyn Getty. “It was our love letter to the land of our birth: the place that gave the origins and the meaning to why we write hymns, from its first hymn writer St. Patrick and his ‘Confession,’ to many beloved modern hymns. We are honored by this GRAMMY® nomination and we hope the project shines a greater light on the Christian heritage of the West, the importance of hymn singing, and the irresistible beauty of the Lord Jesus.”

The 65th GRAMMY® Awards, will air live on Sunday, Feb. 5, from Los Angeles’ Crypto.com Arena, and it will broadcast live on the CBS Television Network and stream live and on-demand on Paramount+ at 8-11:30 p.m. ET / 5-8:30 p.m. PT+.
