Sarasota News Leader December 20, 2013 Page 100 AMY GRANT TO JOIN VINCE GILL AT THE VAN WEZEL The husband-and-wife combo of Amy Grant and Vince Gill —"two of the most beloved voices in popular music" — will unite on stage March 21 at 8 p.m. at the Van Wezel Performing Arts Hall in Sarasota, the Van Wezel has announced. Their four-piece band will feature "steel guitar wizard Paul Franklin" (co-spotlighted with Gill on the album Bakersfield) and, from Grant's own backup group, drummer Greg Morrow, keyboardist Tony Harrell and bass guitarist Mike Brignardello, the release continues. "Except for their cherished Christmas tours," this will be the first time Grant and Gill have worked the road together as co-headliners, a news release points out. They will perform alongside each other for the entire show, "playing and singing from each other's extensive catalog of hits," the release adds. Together, Grant and Gill have sold more than 56 million albums and won a total of 26 Grammys, the release points out. Grant is in the Gospel Music Hall of Fame, and Gill a member of the Country Music Hall of Fame. Tickets are priced from $60 to $85.
