Spend an unforgettable evening with two of music’s most celebrated singer-songwriters as Amy Grant and Mac McAnally share the stage for a special night of songs, stories, and extraordinary musicianship.

A six-time GRAMMY® Award winner and Kennedy Center Honoree, Amy Grant has spent more than four decades inspiring audiences with heartfelt music that bridges gospel, pop, and contemporary Christian genres. With more than 30 million albums sold worldwide and timeless hits that have shaped generations, Grant continues to captivate listeners with songs rooted in hope, faith, and the shared human experience. This tour also celebrates her first album of new music in over a decade, The Me That Remains.

Joining her is legendary songwriter, producer, and multi-instrumentalist Mac McAnally, a record-setting 10-time CMA Musician of the Year and Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame inductee. Known for crafting chart-topping songs for artists including Jimmy Buffett, Kenny Chesney, Alabama, and Sawyer Brown, McAnally brings decades of storytelling, musical brilliance, and unmistakable artistry to the stage.

Together, Grant and McAnally create an intimate concert filled with beloved classics, new music, remarkable performances, and the stories behind the songs that have left a lasting mark on American music. Whether you’re a lifelong fan or discovering their music for the first time, this is an evening you won’t want to miss.

Only Nashville could give birth to a band like the SteelDrivers: a group of seasoned veterans –each distinguished in his or her own right, each valued in the town’s commercial community – who are seizing an opportunity to follow their hearts to their souls’ reward. In doing so, they are braiding their bluegrass roots with new threads of their own design, bringing together country, soul, blues, and other contemporary influences to create an unapologetic hybrid that is old as the hills but fresh as the morning dew. This is new music with the old feeling. SteelDrivers fan Vince Gill describes the band’s fusion as simply “an incredible combination.”

Specializing in a unique mix of what might be called bluegrass soul, the SteelDrivers have become one of the biggest names in progressive bluegrass after making their debut in 2005. While there’s a strong traditional streak in the SteelDrivers’ sound, they bring a passion to their delivery that adds a distinctive flavor, and they’re not afraid of adding a forceful grit to the music.

The SteelDrivers have been nominated for five Grammys, including one in 2025 for Best Bluegrass Album, the Americana Music Association’s New Artist of the Year and was IBMA’s 2009 Emerging Artist of The Year. In 2015, “The Muscle Shoals Recordings” won the Grammy award for Best Bluegrass Recording.

The quintet signed with Sun Records in 2025 and released Grammy Nominated album “Outrun” to great critical acclaim.

The SteelDrivers are:

Richard Bailey (banjo), Tammy Rogers (fiddle) Mike Fleming (bass) Brent Truitt (mandolin) Matt Dame (Guitar)
