Amy Grant to play the PAC
Amy Grant's career spans more than 40 years and stretches from her roots in gospel into becoming an iconic pop star, songwriter, television personality and philanthropist.
Six-time Grammy-winning multi-platinum artist Amy Grant has announced her upcoming 2021 fall tour, which will celebrate the 30th anniversary edition of her iconic album, "Heart In Motion," which was released July 9. Included on the tour is a stop at the Performing Arts Center at Kent State University at Tuscarawas on Sept. 16 at 7:30 p.m.
Featuring her full band, the fall 2021 tour set will include songs that span Grant's four-decade career including hits from "Heart In Motion" to celebrate its milestone anniversary. Originally released on March 5, 1991, "Heart In Motion" was Grammy-nominated, sold over 5 million copies and garnered five Billboard Top 10 singles ("Baby Baby," "Every Heartbeat," "That's What Love Is For," "I Will Remember You" and "Good For Me").
Grant's career spans more than 40 years and stretches from her roots in gospel into becoming an iconic pop star, songwriter, television personality and philanthropist. With three multi-platinum albums, six platinum albums and four gold albums, her total career album sales have exceeded 30 million and over 1 billion global streams. Grant’s chart success has been consistent throughout her career with six No. 1 hits, 10 Top 40 pop singles, 17 Top 40 Adult Contemporary tracks and multiple Contemporary Christian chart-toppers.
In addition to her six Grammy Awards, Grant has earned 26 Dove Awards including four Artist of the Year Awards and has been awarded a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame and the Music City Walk of Fame. Conventional wisdom has it that Grant put contemporary Christian music on the map, becoming the first contemporary Christian artist to have a platinum record, the first to hit No. 1 on the Pop charts and the first to perform at the Grammy Awards.
