For the past 23 years, Amy Grant and Vince Gill have done more than share a life together as both are well-known musical artists. Besides sharing a daughter, the couple also share the stage. For 13 holiday seasons, both singers helped spread Christmas cheer as they performed at the famed Ryman Auditorium in Nashville. Running from December 13 to December 23, Christmas at the Ryman is more than a joint residency for the singers, it marks a continuation of their love for music, Christmas, and each other.
While speaking about the chance to perform at the venue, Grant admitted, “Who doesn’t love the Ryman Auditorium? It’s the best place in the world to hear music and to perform. Every year I look forward to Vince’s and my Christmas residency there, and this year is no exception. For so many artists and musicians, playing that stage is returning to the Mother Church of music and sharing a night with family.”
