Featured Artist: Amy Grant
Amy Grant's career spans over 25 years and stretches from her roots in gospel into an iconic pop star, songwriter, television personality, and philanthropist. Grant has sold more than 30 million albums and won six Grammys in multiple categories, beginning with the platinum selling Age to Age in 1982.
She also has six Number 1 hits, including “Baby, Baby,†and “Every Heartbeat†and is one of only two Christian artists to be awarded a star on the legendary Walk of Fame in Hollywood.
Grant released her first live recording in 25 years with Time Again... Amy Grant Live in September 2006, and then announced her first ever label shift to EMI Music Group where her entire music catalog was re-mastered and released via a GREATEST HITS CD and made available for the first time digitally.
In the fall of 2008 she released her first new Christmas music in 9 years, THE CHRISTMAS COLLECTION, which in addition to four new songs, features tracks that were hand-picked by Grant to include the best songs from her previous albums that result in a classic Christmas album reminiscent of the Bing Crosby, Frank Sinatra, etc. albums of old.
I am personally moved by the concept of our journey through life and because of all the years that have come before, I find myself in a unique and somewhat rare position to be able to sing about that journey, and that’s an opportunity I don’t want to miss."
Now, with fans clamoring for new music, Amy has worked closely with highly acclaimed producer, Marshall Altman (Brooke Frasier, Natasha Bedingfield, Matt Nathanson) to release her first studio album in over 10 years, 'How Mercy Looks From Here'. Included on the album is the track, 'Deep As It Is Wide', featuring guest vocals from Grammy Award winning musician, singer-songwriter, and actress Sheryl Crow, plus first single 'Don't Try So Hard'.
