On GOOD MORNING AMERICA tomorrow morning, November 16th, the Multi-platinum and Grammy Award winning artist Amy Grant, and the show’s co-host Robin Roberts will talk about being “50 & Fabulous,” as both women prepare to celebrate this incredible milestone in their lives (Roberts on November 23rd, Grant just two days later on November 25th). The segment will air early in the 8am EST hour on ABC.

Along with discussing how they’ll both celebrate turning 50, in a pre taped interview the ladies pondered if there’s a secret to being 50 successfully, what people may not know about being 50, and asked themselves if turning 50 will change them in any way. In addition, Grant performed the title track off her latest recording, “Somewhere Down the Road,” for a Good Morning America online exclusive. Click here to watch the clip and segments of the interview.

The “Pieces of Our Lives” tour began last night in Houston. It was a beautiful evening of art, music, and inspiration that has set the tone for what promises to be a very memorable tour. For more about the tour and how it benefits Compassion International, click here.

It’s that time of year again – swimming, cookouts, fun in the sun, and of course pre-sales for Christmas shows! This year, Amy Grant and Vince Gill’s “12 days of Christmas” tour will be making stops all over the southeast, concluding with a two-night run in Nashville! The historic Ryman Auditorium will once again play host to the final shows of the season on Tuesday December 21 and Wednesday December 22. A pre-sale will be offered to FOA members July 2-8. There are a limited number of pre-sale tickets available, so be sure to jump in and get yours early! We’ll look forward to seeing you in Nashville and celebrating the season with you!

If you have registered for the Friends of Amy Soundcheck in Madisonville this Friday, please arrive no later than 4:15pm. The soundcheck will begin at 4:30. We look forward to see you there, and hope you enjoy the soundcheck experience!

We hope you are joining us in St. Louis this Sunday for what is sure to be another incredible evening with Amy! Please note that the concert begins at 7:00pm. It had previously been listed as 8:00, but that was incorrect. Also, the Friends of Amy soundcheck begins at 4:00. If you have registered for this, please arrive no later than 3:45 to check in. So, FOA soundcheck at 4:00, concert at 7:00. Looking forward to seeing you there!

From Team Amy — As Mother’s Day approaches, we can’t help but think about the incredible relationships we have had with our own mothers. Last year, Amy was blessed with the opportunity to record “She Colors My Day” to support a campaign by the same name that celebrates that eternal bond between mother and daughter. The She Colors My Day campaign has expanded and is now a presence on Facebook and Twitter! We urge you to check out their website for the story of how it all began, to learn how you can “color with the pink crayon,” and to hear Amy’s version of the theme song! Please do what you can to support this project as it in turn supports the Susan G. Komen Foundation, the Entertainment Industry Foundation, and the Women’s Cancer Research Fund in their efforts to make life longer and healthier for your mothers and ours.
