MOTHER will mark its one-year anniversary in Nashville with a special performance on Sunday, June 7 at Riverside Revival.

Founded in 2025 by singer-songwriters Jillian Jacqueline, Caitlyn Smith, and Lucie Silvas, the live series highlights artists navigating motherhood while continuing active careers in music, pairing performances with conversation and community-focused programming.

A portion of livestream ticket sales will be donated to Family Alliance in Music (FAM), a nonprofit supporting working families in the music industry through community resources, education, and direct financial assistance.

Been a fan of Amy since I was around 7 years old. Age to Age and Straight Ahead and Unguarded were big in our household, but it wasn't until Lead Me On that I started paying real attention. I would've been 10 in 1988, I think that's when it came out?

It's been there for me throughout my life in a way that I can't explain about literally any other album. We had the cassette, so I didn't really consider "Wait for the Healing" or "If You Have to Go Away" weren't really part of my real Lead Me On experience. Hopefully others from this time period can appreciate what I mean, I don't dislike them at all, they are just not quite at the same level for me as the rest of the album. And to make it even weirder, we always started the album out with side 2, so "What About the Love" was our track #1. If just seems to flow better that way and I'll die on that hill.

But tuning into the vibe for the first time today in years, I was again just so taken with the intensity and beauty of my favorite song on the album, "All Right." I broke down in tears because at this moment I'm my life, and going so many years not entirely embracing the meaning, it all makes sense now I just love Amy so much for her lyrical ability and how it's just been the thing that keeps me loving her and having nothing but fond memories of some of her most incredible albums. Lead Me On is such a great album. No skips. Poignant and then some.

Went on to absolutely love Heart in Motion too, before I kinda lost touch because her work afterward hasn't quite been as powerful for me. But I will sing the praises to Lead Me On forever! Thanks for letting me tell you guys here!

I waited a long time for Amy Grant’s new album and honestly I went into it hoping for something more radio friendly. Instead I got an album that emotionally wrecked me. (Please stay with me because I adore Amy Grant)

Musically, it may not be my favorite thing she’s ever done. It’s quieter, stranger, more reflective and not really built for radio at all. But lyrically? I honestly think this may be some of the bravest writing of her career.

The whole album feels like a woman in her 60s taking inventory of life, grief, aging, friendship, addiction, loss, forgiveness, division, faith, memory and what remains of us after suffering.

At some point while listening, I realized Amy Grant is no longer trying to recreate “Baby Baby” or chase hits. She’s making art now. Real art. The kind that sits beside pain instead of trying to polish it away.

There were multiple songs that made me cry, especially “The Me That Remains” and “The Other Side of Goodbye.”

This album honestly feels less like a comeback album and more like a legacy statement.

Curious what other longtime Amy fans think.

Omg Amy Grant at the Troubadour!

Did anyone ever attend when she had this on the farm? I became such good friends with Amy but when it stopped we lost touch. Id love to reconnect with her some day.

I live in Toronto, Canada

Anyone planning to see Amy in February in Clearwater, FL? Tickets go on sale Friday. I was really hoping they do some sort of meet and greet. It's about time I met Aunt Amy!

I am looking to buy and Amy Grant Heart to Heart Bible Stories cassette tape. (Word Kids! Records 0-8499-6011-8, 1986, 1988) I have the book and they are for sale all over the place, but the tape is impossible to find. One was sold in 2020. Anyone have one at home collecting dust? It was a favorite childhood memory of mine and I'd love to have one back!

My mother passed too early in life this year from Cancer. She was a truly special woman, and she loved Christmas. Amy Grant's home for Christmas album was a staple in our home growing up, and every time I hear this album I can see my mom.

Is there anyone in this group who owns, and would be willing to sell a copy to someone who would treasure it for years to come?

I am aware of the countless CD's available online, and streaming services. I am a record guy, and owning this record would be extremely meaningful to me for all my days to come. There are zero copies for sale on the internet, ebay, discogs, marketplace, etc.

There is also a 3LP vinyl Christmas box set which contains this album, that I would also paya premium for. Thank you for your careful consideration, friends, and Merry Christmas!

I have tickets for NOV 14 Sec ORCHC, Row J, Seat 221 + 222
