Nominations for the 41st Annual GMA Dove Awards were announced Thursday morning at Belmont University’s Curb Café.

No surprise, really, Tulsa-based rock band Pillar earned a nomination for Rock/Contemporary Album of the Year for its sixth studio project, "Confessions."

Over its 10 year career, Pillar has reached nearly 1 million in album sales, performed for more than three million people and tallied 10 No. 1 radio singles, 13 Top 5 hits, a GRAMMY nomination, four Dove Awards, and nine national headlining tours.

"Confessions" debuted the talents of new members, bassist Rich Gilliland, drummer Taylor Carroll and new producer Rob Graves (Red, Wavorly).

Also, band Point of Grace, featuring Normanite Denise Jones, was nominated for Country Recorded Song of the Year for “King of the World.”

The awards will be 7-9 p.m. April 21 at Nashville’s famed Grand Ole Opry House and televised nationwide on GMC, 7-9 p.m. April 25.
