鈥淚t feels like the hard work of my career is behind me,鈥� Grant said. 鈥淧erforming now feels like gravy, to enjoy reminiscing and show up and play songs that remind us of earlier chapters in life.鈥�

Grant will perform at 7:30 p.m. May 18 in the ISU Stephens Performing Art Center鈥檚 Jensen Grand Concert Hall, a concert originally set in February that she had to reschedule due to illness.

Though she鈥檚 never been to Pocatello, she鈥檚 excited to come.

鈥淥ne of my greatest joys of doing music is having a chance to see so much of the country over the last 38 years plus,鈥� said Grant, who has sold more than 30 million albums. 鈥淚 have traveled most of the U.S. and Canada and parts of the rest of the world and I love it. I鈥檝e been lucky to visit so many amazing places.鈥�

Grant said she plans to perform songs from throughout her career that began when she was 17. She has six No. 1 hits 鈥� including 鈥淏aby, Baby鈥� and 鈥淓very Heartbeat鈥� 鈥� and is one of only two Christian artists to be awarded a star on the legendary Walk of Fame in Hollywood. She鈥檚 achieved 10 Top 40 pop singles and placed 17 hits on the Top 40 Adult Contemporary chart as well as scoring numerous hits on the contemporary Christian charts.

鈥淚鈥檒l try to pick a little bit from each decade I鈥檝e made music, including some of those songs from the early 80s and even the 70s may make the set list,鈥� Grant said. 鈥淎 lot of times it is the old songs you feel the most connected to.鈥�

Grant proved she has kept a sense of humor about performing, saying, 鈥淚f they shout out 鈥榩lay such and such song鈥� I鈥檒l play it if I haven鈥檛 forgotten it. There鈥檚 been a lot of water under the bridge.鈥�

When not on the road, Grant stays busy and is involved in a variety of philanthropic causes. When contacted for this interview in late April with nine tour performances coming up in May, Grant was preparing to spend the last weekend of April working with veterans at her farm located about 20 miles outside of Nashville, Tennessee.

鈥淲e are offering music therapy for veterans who are suffering from PSTD (post traumatic stress disorder), providing the opportunity for these young veterans to process trauma through music and song,鈥� Grant said.

The veterans will be teamed up one-on-one with musicians/songwriters to compose a song and then either perform or have their song performed at the end of the weekend.

鈥淚t will give the veterans a chance to tell their story and to revisit it in a different emotional context,鈥� said Grant, adding each vet would receive a guitar donated by Bedell Guitars at the end of the weekend.

After her mid-May Pocatello concert, Grant has just one concert scheduled in mid-June and then will take an 鈥淎my Grant Alaska Cruise鈥� in early July where she will sightsee, interact with fans and play music.

鈥淭he last time I was on an Alaska cruise was when I was 13 years old and my grandmother took me and my three sisters on a cruise,鈥� Grant said. 鈥淪he was widowed really young and travelled the world and she instilled the travel bug in me. I鈥檝e invited my sisters to come (on the Alaska cruise) and make some new memories.鈥�

Ticket prices for her concert are $44 for main seating and $40 for upper level sitting. Tickets are available at the ISU Box Office in the Stephens Performing Arts Center (1102 Sam Nixon Drive), by phone at 282-3595, online at or at Vickers Western Wear.
