Gospel recording artists Jekalyn Carr and Todd Dulaney are set to co-host the 2024 Impact SOAR Awards, which will air on the Impact Network on June 17 at 8 p.m. ET. The show will honor top contemporary gospel music artists including Marvin Sapp, Ricky Dillard, Travis Greene and Kim Burrell.
The show's performers and special guests, who will pay tribute to the honorees, include Brian Courtney Wilson, Ms. Anita Wilson, Mali Music, Kelontae Gavin, Maranda Curtis, Titus Showers and Tim Bowman, Jr.
The SOAR Awards are executive produced by Royal W. Jackson, executive vice president, Impact Network. The show is presented in association with SOAR Radio, which created the SOAR Awards in 2017.
“As the creator of SOAR Radio and the SOAR Awards, I am very proud of the incredible journey we have embarked on since our inaugural show in 2017,” said Justin Francis, founder and CEO of SOAR Radio and Awards. “We are thrilled to partner with the Impact Network, a partnership that takes the SOAR Awards to new heights.”
This is the first special music honor for The Impact Network, a Detroit-based black founded and operated cable network. The show is set to premiere two days after Juneteenth, which is celebrated on June 19, and right in the heart of Black Music Month.
“Honoring gospel legends through heartfelt tributes not only preserves their contributions but also inspires future generations,” said Impact Network Founder and CEO Wayne T. Jackson. “We are thrilled to share this moving event with our viewers and continue to champion the enduring power of gospel music.”
In addition to the SOAR Awards, Impact Network creates 30-second vignettes celebrating influential black music figures and musical moments across genres.
The Impact Network recently aired its first special, The 5th Annual Pink Awards, recognizing achievements in the fight against breast cancer.
