Video: Maverick City Music Wins Big At The 64th Annual GRAMMY Awards Together With Elevation Worship
Maverick City Music after making history as the first Christian or Gospel artist to perform at the Grammys in 20 years Georgia based group Maverick City Music have now won their first Grammy Award for Best Contemporary Christian Music Album.
Awarded for Old Church Basement which they recorded alongside Elevation Worship, Maverick City Music member Alton Eugene said in their acceptance speech, “this group was created for those who were marginalized, unheard and rejected in this space, to be heard and have a space.
“All of us, on this stage represent that.”
Chris Brown from Elevation Worship added, “I will never forget that little basement where this beautifully wild season between our two groups began”.
“It’s been the most beautiful thing watching our two ministries create something together that we could have never created separately,” he said.
“Every bit of what we do belongs to God. We’re honoured to be a part of what He’s doing in the Kingdom,” Maverick City Music said on their Instagram page.
