This event is FREE to the public.
Set to kick off at 10 pm, the star-studded showcase shines as a salute to the label’s 2015 Stellar Award nomination for “Special Event CD of the Year” for their dynamic Billboard Top 5 album EARNEST PUGH PROUDLY PRESENTS GOSPEL’S RISING STARS. To be held at Las Vegas’ Ebenezer COGIC, this stellar event – sponsored by Bethesda COGIC Women’s Department – will beam a much deserved spotlight on some of the genre’s most promising acts with performances from BET’s “Sunday Best” finalist William Demps, gifted songstress Angel Davis, Titus Jackson, God’s Chosen, The Anointed Voices of Ford Memorial, Khare Hawkins, Brittney Wright, and John Tillery.

These nominations are also joined by EPM’s prized Charles Butler & Trinity, who nabbed a nod in the “Contemporary Choir of the Year” category for the their debut album BETTER.
