Amy Grant smiled broadly at the sold-out City Winery in Chicago's West Loop Monday evening, and announced: "Music has never let me down!"

Ms. Grant has reinvented herself multiple times during her musical career. She initially emerged as a contemporary Christian music singer. Amy opened this evening's show with a song from that era, "Father's Eyes," from her second album, released in 1979, when she was still a teenager. Although Ms. Grant's faith still runs deep, her musical style has embraced country and pop music over the years. Amy announced the setlist would "jump around through the years," and she delivered on that promise in the first half of the show, playing selections spanning different genres and eras.

In the second half of the concert, her band played the latest album, "The Me That Remains," in its entirety, performing each song in the same sequence as it appears on the record. Like her career, this album spans multiple musical genres. Some songs tackled serious issues, such as "How Do We Get There From Here" (gun violence) and "The 6th of January" (society's lost innocence), but others were more lighthearted or romantic. "Friend Like You" is a love song she wrote for her famous husband, Vince Gill.

This tour was her first time with a small 4-piece band, and the quartet filled the intimate space really well.

Kim Keyes (percussion), Jonathan Hamby (keyboards), and Gene Miller (guitar) complemented Grant's guitar and vocals perfectly.

Amy closed the show with a rousing version of Jackie DeShannon's "Put a Little Love in Your Heart," which brought the audience to its feet.

Amy Grant is a delight to see perform. She combined talented musicians, great songs, a strong voice, and an engaging smile and personality that charmed the audience. While her husband Vince plays much larger venues, Amy keeps things simple with a small venue and a personal concert.
