Point of Grace is a group of Christian pop music singers and authors. This all-ladies trio consists of Shelley Breen, Denise Jones, and Leigh Cappillino. The group started out as a quartet in 1991 but one member, Terry Jones, retired to spend more time with family. The group’s debut self-titled album was released in 1993; since then, they have been recognized as one of the top Contemporary Christian music bands in the United States. In 2003, they released their ninth album, 24 - a compilation of their 24 consecutive #1 radio singles. To this date, no band in any genre has matched this record. To date, they hold a staggering 27 number one radio singles.

The girls spent the first half of 2007 finishing work on their latest release, entitled How You Live. During that time, they contributed an a cappella rendition of the hymn “All Hail The Power Of Jesus’ Name” to the WoW Hymns project, which was released in March 2007. The girls promoted the first two singles, “All The World” and “You Are Good” during GMA Week in April, and have been singing a few album cuts during their recent concerts. The album, produced by Brown Bannister finds the girls returning to their musical roots, with the harmonies they are known for, and an earthy sound not yet explored by the girls. They shot a video to the single “How You Live (Turn Up The Music)”, in mid-June in Birmingham, AL, and premiered it on their official website in early July. Led by the single “All The World,” they released the album How You Live in late August. “All The World” was reasonably popular and found its way into the Top 40 in the Mediabase charts. The follow-up single, “How You Live (Turn Up The Music)” did far better, peaking at number five on the Billboard Hot Christian Adult Contemporary Chart. The album peaked at number fifty-six on the Billboard 200 and at number four on the Top Christian & Gospel Album Charts. The unexpected success of the album and single earned the group five Dove Award nominations, including Song of the Year for “How You Live (Turn Up The Music),” Group of the Year and Artist of the Year. “How You Live” was released to country radio in April 2008, entering the country charts at #56.

Point Of Grace was nominated for five Dove Awards in 2008, including Group of the Year and Artist of The Year. The girls performed their single “How You Live (Turn Up The Music)” with Cindy Morgan, the song’s writer. They were backed by ballerinas and group member Denise Jones displayed her guitar skills for the first time on the telecast. They picked up the award for Country Recorded Song of the Year and Cindy Morgan took home the award for Songwriter of the Year, for “How You Live (Turn Up The Music).” On the same week of the Doves telecast, they made their debut on the Grand Ole Opry stage, solidifying their growing acceptance in the country music market.

The group just recently finished the “How You Live” tour.
