Amy Grant Returns To Ryman Auditorium For First Solo Performances In 25 Years

It’s been a rough couple of years for the songstress, but now she’s back and busier than ever.

There is no stopping Amy Grant.

A year and a half after suffering a traumatic brain injury, the Christian singer is preparing to make her triumphant return to Ryman Auditorium in 2024.

Grant will perform two back-to-back shows at Nashville’s Mother Church on Mother’s Day weekend—her first solo performances at Ryman Auditorium in 25 years.

The Grammy-winner has been on the Ryman stage many times over the years alongside her husband Vince Gill. The country couple have been doing a joint residency there for the past 13 holiday seasons. This year’s Christmas at the Ryman runs from December 13 - December 23.

“Who doesn’t love the Ryman Auditorium? It’s the best place in the world to hear music and to perform,” Grant said in a statement. “Every year I look forward to Vince’s and my Christmas residency there, and this year is no exception. For so many artists and musicians, playing that stage is returning to the Mother Church of music and sharing a night with family. I’m thrilled to be headed back to the Ryman for the first time in 25 years to play two nights of the non-holiday music I’ve been making for the past 45 years. Over the two nights, I’ll cover as much of the old music as I can, and introduce a couple of new songs.”

Grant was thrown from her bike after hitting a pothole in Nashville on July 27, 2022. The "Baby, Baby" singer hit her head so hard that she was knocked unconscious for roughly 10 minutes. She postponed numerous concert dates in order to heal, and, as it turns out, recover her memory.

"I don't remember the wreck. I don't remember the weeks right after that," Grant said in an interview with CBS Mornings last December. "It started off just trying to remember names of people in my family. A lot of sentences would start off, 'Are they dead or alive?'"

After months of recovery, she said the entire process was a gift because it helped her realize that she still has more music in her.

"Really, the gift is I loved music before anybody was listening. I wrote songs because they helped me understand life," Grant told CBS Mornings. "I woke up saying, 'I still have that same toolkit, and I think I have one more good record in me.'”

Grant will also co-host this year’s CMA Country Christmas with Trisha Yearwood, which airs Thursday, December 14 at 8 p.m. EST on ABC.
