FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: FRANKLIN, TN -03.03.09–INDIEHEAVEN.COM/CHRISTIAN INDEPENDENT ALLIANCE ANNOUNCE FINALISTS OF THE 2009 MOMENTUM AWARDS
Leading independent Christian organization to announce winners at their annual CIA Summit conference, March 28, 2009
Indieheaven.com/The Christian Independent Alliance, the leading organization for Christian independent musicians announces the finalists of the 2009 MOMENTUM AWARDS. The Momentum Awards, now in it’s 4th year, are the premier award recognition program for Christian independent artists. Previous award winners have seen opportunities for advancement in their music and mission because of the recognition the awards garner. Some have moved into the CCM Industry, while others have continued to see success as independent artists.
Indieheaven president, Keith Mohr states, “as the music industry continues to change and more and more artists are either staying independent or going back to their independent roots, it is important to recognize the pursuit of excellence in this growing indiestry. The basis for the Momentum Awards is not competition, but comrades applauding and encouraging one another to create momentum in their music missions. We teach indies that momentum is paramount to success as an independent artist.”
