Beaver Creek, Colo., March. 9, 2020 — Amy Grant’s voice has been recognizable in both the pop and Christian music worlds for nearly three decades. This month, the Grammy-winning singer-songwriter performs at the Vilar Performing Arts Center.

Tickets are available now at the VPAC box office (970-845-8497; www.vilarpac.org). The VPAC is located under the ice rink in Beaver Creek Village (68 Avondale Lane, Beaver Creek, Colorado).
Amy Grant brought contemporary Christian music to a much wider audience. She burst onto the scene as a teenager (she released her first album at age 16) and quickly earned a reputation for creating potent songs that examine life’s nuances with an open heart and a keen eye. The world took notice: Grant was the first Christian artist to earn a platinum record, the first to hit No. 1 on the Pop charts, and the first to perform at the Grammy Awards. Since then, she has been strumming her way through a 30-plus year adventure as a singer-songwriter, author, television host and speaker.
During her career, Grant has sold more than 30 million albums worldwide, including three multi-platinum, six platinum, and four gold. She boasts six No. 1 hits, 10 “Top 40” Pop singles, 17 “Top 40” Adult Contemporary tracks and multiple Contemporary Christian chart-toppers. In recognition of such success, Grant has received six Grammy Awards and 26 Dove Awards, a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, and a star on the Music City Walk of Fame. Additionally, she was inducted into the Gospel Music Hall of Fame in Nashville. In Dec. of 2019, Grant was recognized for hitting one billion listens across all streaming platforms. A longtime and active Nashville resident, Grant is as well known for her philanthropy as her music. She and husband, Vince Gill, are tireless in their efforts to aid worthy causes.
A few years ago, Grant celebrated the 25th anniversary of her first pop hit, “Baby Baby” by recording a new version of the song with musician Tori Kelly. If you’re lucky, you’ll hear that song and many more of her chart toppers when she performs at the Vilar Performing Arts Center on March 20.
