GRAMMY-nominated multi-instrumentalist Crowder has earned his fifth Dove Award, winning in the Rock/Contemporary Recorded Song category on Friday, October 4, for his chart-topping single, “Grave Robber.” Co-written with Ben Glover and Jeff Sojka, this powerful anthem conveys the uplifting message that no challenge is too great for God to overcome.

The track served as the lead single from Crowder’s album 'The EXILE' (5.31) and also went No. 1 at radio. ‘The EXILE’ earned him his 5th No. 1 spot on the Billboard Christian/Gospel Albums chart. Additionally, it reached No. 2 on the Billboard Top Digital Albums, No. 6 on the Billboard Top Internet Albums, and No. 7 on Billboard’s All-Genre Top Album chart. With more than 32.5 million global streams already, it marks yet another remarkable milestone for Crowder.

"The EXILE" is the second installment in a three-part trilogy that began with "Milk & Honey," which also topped the Billboard Top 200 Christian Charts upon its release in 2021. Produced by the GRAMMY Award-winning team Glover and Sojka, this genre-bending 12-track collection of songs blends rock and traditional bluegrass elements with innovative urban beats.

Crowder is currently on the road with MercyMe as part of the “Together Again… Again Tour.” Additionally, Crowder will headline the “Air1 Tour” in November and will join the “HITS DEEP TOUR: beginning in January. For tickets and more information, visit crowdermusic.com.
