Down East Boys Earn Dove Award Nomination

Arden, North Carolina (July 31, 2025) — Sonlite Records congratulates the Down East Boys, whose album, Something To Shout About, is nominated for this year’s GMA Dove Awards Southern Gospel Album of the Year.

Produced and arranged by Jason Webb, Something to Shout About (released by Sonlite in October 2024) is a collection that makes frequent use of expansive orchestration, lending an air of musical sophistication to the inspirational messages embodied in its 10 songs, from the bold opening notes of “When Believers Will Be Leaving,” to the gentle close of “That’s What Heaven Holds,” with its wistful, yet certain vision of eternity:

That’s what Heaven holds for me In the presence of Jesus What a moment that will be Embracing my loved ones waiting there Freedom from all my earthly care One in the song of praise to Him For all eternity That’s what heaven holds for me

Indeed, while there are plenty of spirited numbers on Something To Shout About— including the title track, which was No. 1 on the Singing News chartin February 2025, the stirring “Mercy River” and “Go Tell,” with its lively invocation of Jesus’ coming — some of its most memorable moments are heard in the tender, lushly arranged Mosie Lister classic, “His Hand In Mine,” the stately ballad, “I’ll Have A New Name” and a new version of second single (and another classic), “He Looked Beyond My Fault,” that features an extended instrumental introduction to set the mood for its powerful message of redemption. Add it all up, and Something to Shout About is a set that’s sure to please old fans, and to make some new ones, too — for both its musical ministry and artistry.
