DanBremnes-Covenant-webThe Gospel Music Association (GMA) Canada honored singer-songwriter Dan Bremnes with four Covenant Awards at the awards banquet in Vancouver, British Columbia, Thursday, Nov. 13. Word Entertainment duo Love & The Outcome also took home three awards at the 36th Annual GMA Canada Covenant Awards.

GMA recognized Bremnes (Capitol Christian Music Group) for Artist of the Year and Male Vocalist of the Year, as well as for Pop/Contemporary Song and Recorded Song of the Year for his current single, “Beautiful,” which he performed at the ceremony.

“Thank you GMA Canada!” Bremnes said. “What an amazing night celebrating Canadian contemporary Christian music. … I’m truly humbled and so grateful to be part of the special evening, as well as to be recognized for my music by my fellow peers. I cannot share my gratitude enough!”

Prior to the awards, Bremnes spoke at GMA Canada’s Artist Summit, where he shared insights about leading worship, songwriting and touring. He also led worship, joining Jon Neufeld and Amanda Cook at the Night of Worship service.

Love & the Outcome were named Group of the Year, Album of the Year (Love & The Outcome) and Seasonal Song of the Year (“Emmanuel”). Nominated for six Covenant Awards overall, the husband-wife duo, Chris Rademaker and Jodi King, put their live show on display at the awards show much like they did the month before at the GMA Dove Awards in Nashville, where they were nominated for New Artist of the Year.
