NASHVILLE, TN (February 23, 2022) Family Music Group & Butler Music Group owner and producer, Les Butler, has been nominated for Producer of the Year in the prestigious 2022 Absolutely Gospel Music Awards. 

Nominees were chosen by the staff of AbsolutelyGospel.com and select media representatives. “This awards program was established over 20 years ago by our parents,” said Chris Unthank, Editor-In-Chief of AbsolutelyGospel.com. “We feel like as in years past, the staff nailed the nominees. This isn’t about favorites, but rather the artists and professionals who have made the biggest impact in our genre.” 

Upon learning of the nomination, Les made this statement, "I guess this was announced a few days ago. I had no idea I was nominated. Please don't think bad of me because of my slow response. I would have never thought to have even looked. Look at all of those names. Then, there's me! I don't deserve to be in that class with those names. But, somehow it has happened. And so I sincerely say thank you! I am honored and shocked! Blessings to all involved!"
