NASHVILLE, TN - March 22, 2024 - Today, six-time Grammy winner Amy Grant has released Songs From The Loft for the first time on digital formats. Originally released in 1993 at the height of her successful album, Heart In Motion, the Songs From The Loft project has been long out of print and sought after by fans everywhere.
Featuring guest artists Michael W. Smith, Donna McElroy, Susan Ashton, Wes King, Ashley Cleveland, Gary Chapman, Kim Hill, Amy Delaine and Michael James, Songs From The Loft was a labor of love to provide songs for people to sing at gatherings on Amy's farm. A focus track of the collection is "We Believe In God," the anthemic song so many fans have come to cherish. Click here to watch its new lyric video.
In the original liner notes, Amy said, “This collection of songs brings countless pictures to mind. Memories made over years in the top of an old red barn…Jammed up in the loft with the dust and sweat, the raw nerves, and the truth…The hope is that these simple songs will always remind us…we believe in God.” Full track listing is below.
Grant is currently touring throughout the spring in 33 cities across the U.S., including Mother's Day weekend for her first solo headline shows at Nashville's Ryman Auditorium. Grant and husband Vince Gill celebrated their 100th show at The Ryman as part of a sold-out 2023 “Christmas at the Ryman” residency this past December, making them the first artists to headline 100 show at the iconic venue. Grammy-nominated stand-up comedian and Nashville native Nate Bargatze surprised the duo on stage with a Hatch Show Print commemorating the 12-show run and centennial milestone.

About Amy Grant:
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. 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 GMA Dove Awards (including four Artist of the Year Awards) and has been awarded a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame as well as the Music City Walk of Fame and the Nashville Songwriters Hall 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. With that, her legacy as one of the most influential artists of the past four decades is assured. In 2020, the T.J. Martell Foundation – the music industry’s leading nonprofit to fund innovative medical research focused on treatments and cures for cancer – honored Grant with the Tony Martell Outstanding Entertainment Achievement Award at their annual Honors Gala. Most recently, The John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts included Grant as one of their five distinguished Honorees to receive the 45th Kennedy Center Honors for lifetime artistic achievements. In 2023, Grant toured in 70 cities across the country and released her first new music in a decade, starting with the single "Trees We'll Never See,” (March) and "What You Heard" (April). Grant released her latest project, “Lead Me On Live 1989” in October 2023 which is a full-concert documentation from the 1988-1989 Lead Me On Tour. Grant finished the year with two Christmas Tours including dates with Michael W. Smith as well as the annual Christmas At The Ryman residency with Vince Gill which celebrated over 100 headline shows at the Ryman, the first co-headliners to mark this incredible milestone. Currently, Grant is on tour playing 33 shows in this spring, including two headlining shows at the Ryman Auditorium over Mother’s Day weekend. Grant will release the long-sought after “Songs From The Loft” album, originally released in 1993, for the first time on digital formats on March 22 and will begin recording her next musical project for release later in the year.
