Nashville, Tenn. (Dec. 19, 2016) – It has been a busy Tennessee Christmas for six-time GRAMMY® winner Amy Grant. Amidst releasing her first all-new holiday album in nearly 20 years (Tennessee Christmas), Grant has been traversing both coasts on a Christmas symphony tour with Michael W. Smith, joined by Republic recording artist Jordan Smith (winner of NBC’s “The Voice”), alongside teaming up with husband Vince Gill for their “Christmas At The Ryman” residency. Critics are continuing to adore Tennessee Christmas.
Atlanta Journal Constitution praised Tennessee Christmas‘ pensiveness and tenderness, marking the album “A+.”
Chicago Sun Times called it “one that really tugs at the heart strings.”
Yahoo! called it Grant’s best since her very first Christmas album.
The multi-platinum singer/songwriter will appear on NPR’s Weekend Edition on Christmas Day. Grant recently sat down with Inside Edition before a show with Gill at Nashville’s historic Ryman. Rare Country shared about the couple’s holidays together in support of Tennessee Christmas. ABC Radio and Forbes have also caught up with Grant during the holiday season, Forbes even calling her “The Queen of Christmas Music.” Grant is currently on the cover of CCM Magazine.
