LEXINGTON, KY— Daywind Records recording artist Kenny Bishop was among those listed as a finalist when the nominees for the 49th Annual GRAMMY Awards were announced today in Hollywood.

Bishop's self-titled solo release was nominated in the Best Southern, Country, or Bluegrass Gospel Album category. Other nominees are Alan Jackson, Randy Travis, the Gaither Vocal Band and the Del McCoury Band.

"This recording is simply a reflection of my passion for the message of grace and forgiveness at every level," Bishop said. "I'd never, ever have imagined it would receive such an honor. I am truly, truly humbled and grateful."
