Multi-platinum, GRAMMY\u00ae winners\u00a0Amy Grant<\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0Michael W. Smith<\/strong>\u00a0are reuniting to co-bill their popular Christmas tour this upcoming holiday season, where they will be joined by special guest Marc Martel<\/strong>. Incorporating a\u00a0full symphony orchestra<\/strong>\u00a0at each performance, this musical mastery is being presented by Balsam Hill\u00ae<\/sup> (www.BalsamHill.com<\/a>). Kicking-off November 30\u00a0in Cincinnati, OH the seven-city tour travels to Columbus, OH, Indianapolis, IN, Grand Rapids, MI and more.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The highly anticipated show will feature selections spanning the artists\u2019 expansive Christmas repertoires and combine the vast collection of critically-acclaimed holiday albums between them. The dynamic duo last brought their Christmas tour on the road in 2017 to the delight of fans in sold-out shows throughout North America.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

“Michael is one is the most gifted musicians I know. \u00a0His welcoming, easy going personality makes me look forward to every chance I have to share the stage with him…. especially at Christmas,” Grant says.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Smith states, \u201cIt\u2019s no secret how much I love Christmas and playing Christmas music.\u00a0 I\u2019m so looking forward to being back out with Amy for the first half of the season \u2013 and when she returns home for her Christmas residency at the Ryman \u2013 I look forward to carrying on for nine more shows with my band and the amazing Marc Martel!\u201d<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Grant and Smith both agreed, \u201cWe are so happy to have Balsam Hill as our Tour Sponsor again. A Christmas Tour sponsored by the manufacturer of the most beautiful Christmas trees and Christmas decorations; it just doesn\u2019t get any better than that! Both of our homes are decorated with Balsam Hills products.\u201d<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cIt all comes full circle! Amy Grant and Michael W. Smith – two class acts, whose music has been a big part of my own musical upbringing – have invited me to join them on their 2019 Christmas tour. As far as I’m concerned, when it comes to Christmas shows, this one is the standard. So excited to share the stage with Smitty and Amy, and see you all somewhere on the road this holiday season,\u201d Martel adds.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

About Amy Grant:<\/strong>
\n<\/strong>Amy Grant’s career spans more than 30 years and stretches from her roots in gospel into becoming an iconic pop star, songwriter, television personality and philanthropist. With three multi-platinum albums, six platinum albums and four gold albums, her total career album sales have exceeded 30 million. Grant\u2019s chart success has been consistent throughout her career with six No. 1 hits, 10 Top 40 pop singles, 17 Top 40 Adult Contemporary tracks and multiple Contemporary Christian chart-toppers. In addition to her six GRAMMY\u00ae Awards, Grant has earned 26 Dove Awards (including four Artist of the Year Awards) and has been awarded a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame as well as the Music City Walk of Fame.

With that, her legacy as one of the most influential artists of the past four decades is assured. In April of 2016, Grant celebrated the 25th anniversary of her iconic hit \u201cBaby Baby\u201d with a worldwide release of the song featuring pop sensation Tori Kelly.\u00a0Tennessee Christmas\u00a0<\/em>released in late 2016, marking Grant\u2019s first all-new holiday album in nearly 20 years.<\/p>\n

About <\/strong>Marc Martel: <\/strong><\/p>\n

Long before his YouTube videos went viral, spawning an appearance on \u201cThe Ellen DeGeneres Show\u201d and a performance with the surviving members of Queen on \u201cAmerican Idol,\u201d Marc Martel spent 13 years recording and touring the globe with Canadian rockers Downhere. After hearing about a contest spearheaded by the actual members of Queen, the front man almost passed on the opportunity to enter, but with some prodding, he casually cut a version of \u201cSomebody To Love\u201d in 2011, and now 30 million cumulative YouTube and Facebook views later, Martel was declared the victor. Fast forward to 2019, and Martel has forged for himself a unique and diverse career. Amongst other accolades, he started his own Queen tribute show called\u00a0The Ultimate Queen Celebration,\u00a0<\/em>which tours all over the world, including an upcoming Germany\/Austria\/Switzerland run in 2020. In 2018 Martel was called upon to be one of the voices of Freddie Mercury in the\u00a0Twentieth Century Fox film,\u00a0\u201cBohemian Rhapsody\u201d, which has not only\u00a0opened up touring\u00a0opportunities that have brought him all over playing to sold out crowds, but has led to features by the New York Times, Good Morning America, and hundreds of other publications.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Additionally, each Christmas Marc releases EP\u2019s chalk full of traditional\u00a0holiday\u00a0songs recorded with a fresh perspective and sound. \u00a0The last 4 radio singles off these albums have garnered him Top 10 chart positioning on Billboard\u2019s Monitored AC Christian chart. Now 150 million YouTube views later, and a nearly cult online\u00a0following, it feels as if Marc Martel is quickly becoming a recognizable name.<\/p>\n
