Amy Grant Plans Garage Sale

No, no … Amy isn’t having a yard sale in front of her Nashville area estate. However, she is helping to promote a large yard sale at Nashville’s Lipscom University.

Proceeds will benefit two of public housing efforts in Nashville. According to MusicCityTV.com, last year’s “Amy Grant & Friends Yard Sale” helped the family of a 12-year-old boy with cerebral palsy and over $25,000 was raised!

If you are in the area or are an extreme yard sale’er who wouldn’t mind traveling, head to University Park at Lipscomb University this Saturday (10/24) between 7a and 2p.

Last week, Music City hosted a fundraiser for “Point of Hope,” a charity founded by nationally syndicated radio personality Delilah.

Point Hope, providing a “voice for forgotten children,” exists to offer humanitarian needs to children around the globe.

Hosted at the Rymer Gallery, artists Amy Grant, Ty Herndon, Vince Young, Kimberly Locke, Wynona Judd, and many more came together to help raise support for this organizati0n.

Also in attendance was Christian music artist Plumb, who is pictured to the right with country music star Wynonna Judd.

I’m in a melancholy mood this morning. If you are as well, this music video from Plumb will do just fine for you!

Gospel Music Association is Going Under!

Last night, about a half a dozen Christian performers gathered together in an effort to save the Gospel Music Association.

Since 1964, the Gospel Music Association has existed to expose, promote and celebrate the gospel through music of all styles.

The show, held at Music City’s famed Loveless Cafe (Nashville, TN), was hosted by Brown Bannister and consisted of performances by CM legands Amy Grant, Michael W. Smith, Casting Crowns, MercyMe, Natalie Grant, Kirk Franklin, Point of Grace, Fisk Jubilee Singers and The Booth Brothers.

The event, which was open to the public, was not cheap. According to http://www.gospelmusic.org, a single ticket to the night’s performance was priced at $1,000.

According to Ed Leonard, chairman of the GMA Board of Directors (and president of Daywind Music), the economic hardship faced by the Gospel Music Association was created in part by the economic recession.

“This dinner concert is a way to not only ensure the viability of GMA in the future, but to have the concert experience of a lifetime,” Leonard said.

Once EyeOnMusicCity receives word on the total funds raised, we’ll be sure to post an update here.
