There are still a handful of shows left on the Awake and Alive tour and if you haven't been to one of the shows yet, you owe it to yourself to go. We went to the Atlanta show and were blown away by the whole thing. Amazing music and humble hearts -- a combination that you simply can't go wrong with.
Getting to hang out on the bus with Decyfer Down and then backstage with John Cooper were extra perks to a great night that made the 90-mile drive to Atlanta more than worth it.

A big congrats goes out to Erica and Tina (aka Mary Mary) for a win last night at the American Music Awards. They are officially the Favorite Contemporary Inspirational Artist in America! Personally, I would have much rather seen them perform than seeing Adam Lambert simulating sex with one male dancer, groping one female dancer and kissing his male keyboard player.
The sisters also recently won a Soul Train Award for Best Gospel Performance (airing Nov. 29th). Oh - and did I mention the four nominations for the 2010 Stellar Awards? They are up for Song of the Year - "God In Me," Group Duo of the Year - The Sound, Contemporary Group/Duo of the Year and Urban/Inspirational Single/Performance of the Year - "God In Me."What a way to end a year!
In other Mary Mary news, there is a new remix hiting radio. It's not every day that a mainstream rapper teams up with a gospel group to make music, but that is exactly what Erica and Tina Campbell and Yung Joc did when they released a remix of the popular "God in Me." This song works on so many levels - the talent, the beat, the music and the rap intro - that it appeals to a wide variety of age groups.
