NASHVILLE - March 2014 - SESAC, the nation's most progressive performing rights organization, named Christian songwriter/producer Jason Ingram as SESAC's Christian Songwriter of the Year at ceremonies held at the elegant Hillwood Country Club in Nashville. Sony/ATV Timber Publishing was named SESAC's Christian Music Publisher of the Year. The awards recognize activity for songwriters and publishers in 2013.
A highlight of the evening occurred when SESAC presented the legendary band Petra with its Legacy Award, marking the first time the award has been given in the Christian music genre. Previous recipients of this prestigious award have included Neil Diamond, Paul Shaffer and Jerry Cantrell of Alice In Chains. Petra also performed during the event, playing "Holy Is Your Name," a newly-recorded single from the 40th Anniversary Reunion Tour.
Other SESAC award winners included such Christian songsmiths as Cary Barlowe, Jamie Grace, Juan Otero, Ian Eskelin, Natalie Grant and Tiffany Arbuckle Lee (Plumb), to name but a few. For a complete list of winners, go to www.sesac.com.
