Fueled by their recent Dove Award win, a single climbing the radio charts, and a new album on the horizon, StowTown Records sibling quartet The Erwins enter 2021 with their first-ever GRAMMY nomination. The Texas group’s 2019 What Christmas Really Means is nominated for a GRAMMY in the Best Roots Gospel Album category alongside recordings by legendary artists including The Crabb Family, Fisk Jubilee Singers, Mark Bishop, and Ernie Haase & Signature Sound.
Known for their modern take on classic Southern Gospel harmonies, the Erwins celebrated another milestone last fall as “The Power Of An Empty Tomb” won the Dove Award for Southern Gospel Recorded Song of the Year. The Joel Lindsey-penned ballad is featured on the siblings’ acclaimed 2018 recording Watch & See.
Additionally, the quartet’s latest single – a reimagined rendition of the hit “Nobody” by Casting Crowns – is currently impacting the Southern Gospel radio charts. The genre-spanning track from the Erwins’ latest project, Favorites: On Repeat, was written by Bernie HermsMatthew West and Mark Hall of Casting Crowns.
Keith, Kody, Kris and Katie Erwin have been singing together their entire lives. They grew up performing in countless churches and at events across the country with their parents, who have been full-time evangelists for over 40 years. The group’s 2011 debut, What Really Matters, featured the Erwin brothers, with Katie officially joining the lineup later that year for the follow-up project, Jesus In A Song. Over the next decade, The Erwins have released six follow-up recordings, as well as the GRAMMY-nominated What Christmas Really Means. The group has participated in various multi-artist collaborations, including Fanny Crosby: Newly Discovered Hymns and Songs, a StowTown Records release featuring selections from Jason Crabb, Ernie Haase & Signature Sound, The Collingsworth Family, Charles Billingsley and Rhonda Vincent, among others.
