New York, NY (Top40 Charts) Surrender Now, by Gregory Markel. Winner of the 2016 Global Peace Song Awards for Rock/Pop
Gregory Markel logged a 1st place win in the rock/pop category for his song 'Surrender Now' in the Global Peace Song Awards, judged by a jury of world-famed musicians, legendary Music Industry Executives, a famed TV Producer and an iconic peace Politician all cast their votes to select the most inspiring music and videos that promote the message of peace.

Gregory shared the first place win with co-finalist Siedah Garrett in the rock/pop category for his song 'Surrender Now,' which was played on by Tom Michael-Bass, Brett Vargason-Drums, Scott Heyniger-Keys and Todd Shay- Guitar "Collectively known as Zodlounge," produced by Dick Williams, (Song arrangement/Instrumentation), and Gregory Markel (Vocal arrangements w/Duncan McFarlane engineering, Altered State drummer Chip Moreland on BG vocals), engineered and mixed by 8 time Grammy winner John Jaszcz and mastered by Hank Williams in Nashville at MasterMix.

Gregory Markel upon learning of the win, was quoted as saying, "With the state of the world being as it is, winning the Global Peace Song Award for my song about peace, is especially important and special to me.
