Tickets are $49-79. Star 99.1 FM is the media partner for this event.

With a career spanning over 25 years, Amy Grant stretches from her roots in gospel into her experience as an iconic pop star, songwriter, television personality and philanthropist. Grant is beloved for both her Contemporary Christian music and mainstream hits like "Baby Baby," "Every Heartbeat," "That's What Love is For," "I Will Remember You," "Lead Me On," "El Shaddai," and more. Grant has sold more than 30 million albums, including one Five-Time Platinum album, one Triple Platinum and one Double Platinum album, as well as six platinum and four Gold albums. She has won six GRAMMY Awards and 25 GMA Dove Awards, including four Artist of the Year awards. Out of her 10 Top 40 pop singles, six have become No. 1 hits, including "Baby, Baby" and "Every Heartbeat."

Grant was inducted into the Gospel Music Hall of Fame in 2003, and is one of only two Christian artists to be awarded a star on the legendary Hollywood Walk of Fame. In 2006, she announced her first-ever label shift to EMI Music Group, where her entire music catalog was re-mastered and released via a GREATEST HITS album and made available for the first time digitally.

Her most recent projects have indulged Grant's love of community. In 2013, she released How Mercy Looks From Here, a landmark album that featured collaborations with heroes such as James Taylor and Carole King as well as Sheryl Crow, Eric Paslay, Will Hoge and stepdaughter Jenny Gill. The project became her 16th No. 1 album in the Christian genre. The following year, Grant's classic hits were in the spotlight again with In Motion: The Remixes, a collection of her hits remixed by well known remix engineers and DJs who skillfully reinvented her classic catalog for a new generation of music lovers. The album hit the top five on Billboard's Electronic Albums chart.

Grant's newest album, Be Still And Know.Hymns & Faith, is a collection of classic songs that have buoyed her faith since childhood and helped lay the foundation for her creative journey. This latest group of songs occupies a special place in a career filled with great memories and incredible music. Grant has always found a way to share her life through her music, and in the process has become not only the best-selling Christian music artist of all time but also one of the most celebrated artists in the pop music industry. Her music continues to be part of the fabric of life for long-time listeners and brand new fans. For more information, visit www.AmyGrant.com.
