Old Dominion has been named ACM Group of the Year, marking their fifth career win in the category.
The band received the honor during 57th Academy of Country Music Awards on Monday evening (March 7).
Old Dominion (sans Whit Sellers) took the stage to share their appreciation for their families, management teams, label and fans for always supporting them throughout their career.
“This is our fifth year and that’s no small thing,” lead singer Matt Ramsey shared from the stage. “We do not take that for granted.”
Ramsey went on to share heartfelt words for the country of Ukraine and admitted that it felt “strange” to be celebrating when there are people suffering.
“We are so grateful for this award,” he concluded. “Couldn’t be more thankful.”
The ACM Group of the Year category also included Lady A, Little Big Town, Midland, and The Cadillac Three.
