Quartet’s national honors continue to accumulate
From Staff Reports
The Waymasters, Asheville natives and one of Christian country gospel music’s premier groups, recently added another national honor to its impressive run of recent accolades.
The newest addition was the reception — on May 23 — of the “2017 Gospel Music Fan Award for Favorite Country Gospel Group,” a fan-driven award presented by Christian Voice Magazine. The Gospel Music Fan Awards are fan-nominated and fan-voted awards.
The Waymasters were nominated for “Favorite Country Gospel Group” along with the Singing Cookes, Crimson Ridge, Crossfire, the Freemans, Sunday Drive, the Roarks, the Cupps, the Drummond Family and the Parish Family.
The reception of the award was just the latest in a string of impressive milestones for the band. Originally from Asheville, the Waymasters cemented their rise in popularity in 2015 when the quartet won Acoustic Artist of the Year at the prestigious ICGMA Awards.
