FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
MULTI-PLATINUM, SIX-TIME GRAMMY-WINNER AMY GRANT TO RELEASE FIRST NEW MUSIC IN TEN YEARS
Announced this morning on THE TODAY SHOW, new single "Trees We'll Never See," will be available across all DSP's March 24th
Nashville, TN... (March 1, 2022) - Multi-platinum, six-time GRAMMY-winner Amy Grant anncounced today that she is releasing her first new music in a decade. During a two-part interview with Craig Melvin on THE TODAY SHOW, conducted in her home this week, Grant excitedly shared that the first track, "Trees We'll Never See," will be available across all DSP's on March 24th and can be save pre-orderd/pre-saved now.
"Trees We'll Never See" was written by Marshall Altman, who produced her critically-acclaimed album, “How Mercy Looks From Here," and Michael White. Grant will release another new song this spring, which will be announced soon.
"So much creativity has been put on hold in my life, for all kinds of reasons," shares Grant when talking about the new music. "Last summer I was asked to sing on a new Cory Asbury song yet to be released. This might be one of the best songs I have heard in a long time. I was so glad they waited for me to heal up and get back to the studio. Inspired by Cory’s beautiful song, Marshall Altman and I started talking about songs that we’ve written recently that affected us. I played him one of mine. He played me one of his. His song was “Trees We’ll never See. I loved it immediately and asked him if I could record it, and within two weeks, both songs were mixed & mastered!”
After taking time to heal from her bike accident last summer, Grant joined Michael W. Smith for their Christmas tour, followed by her annual Christmas at the Ryman residency with husband Vince Gill. Amy’s year culminated in receiving a prestigious Kennedy Center Honor along with U2, George Clooney, Gladys Knight and Tania Leon. This spring, she will be heading to 70 cities across the U.S., excited to share new music and fan favorites.
