Her last visit was in 2019 and oddly enough when she asked who was there not many responded. That is a good thing as it goes to show she was playing to many who may not have seen her before. Grant put on a dazzling, inspirational performance. Grant looks at things in a positive way no matter how bad things can get. The past three years have been no picnic for her but she keeps pushing through obstacles and has a great outlook on things. Continue reading →

Shinedown brought their Revolutions Live tour to the St. Joseph’s Health Amphitheater Wednesday evening. The show marked the final show at the Amphitheater for the 2023 season.
