Amy Grant puts hearts in motion starting at 7:30 p.m. April 1 for a rescheduled show in Eureka Springs. The pop star turned Christian contemporary singer was scheduled to perform at the Aud last year but suffered a bike accident and had to cancel several tour dates. Now she’s back on the road and ready to promote her forth-coming single, “Trees We’ll Never See.”

Her career spans more than 40 years and includes three multi-platinum albums, six platinum albums and four gold albums, 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 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 and the Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame.

Tickets are $55 to $75 at tickets.thundertix.com/events/201458. Also coming up at the Auditorium in Eureka Springs are Melissa Etheridge on May 5 and Ray Wylie Hubbard with Marcia Ball on June 2. See more information at theaud.org. or call 253-7788.

Caitlin Rose

Caitlin Rose is on tour following a long hiatus. She released “CAZIMI” early this year, and last year was the reissue of her much-loved “On My Own,” by the genre-shifting, Nashville-based singer-songwriter.

“I’ve finally moved into this place where I’ve spent the last year and a half gardening. It’s a good way of trying to create a more beautiful life for yourself, growing things. In other places I lived in the last 10 years, I was just trying to hide from the world,” Rose says of her song “All Right (Baby’s Got a Way).”

“I was listening to this song and looking around at all these flowers and things I’ve somehow been able to keep alive and I realized, ‘Oh my god, something’s changed.’ That’s how I’m feeling about putting out this album. It’s been this 10 year streak of doom and disappointment, then all of a sudden everything looks a little less dark, and now it’s more of an ‘Oh my god, I’m winded.’”

Rose brings her own special brand of indie rock with a country edge to Fayetteville for an 8 p.m. April 3 show at George’s Majestic Lounge. Tickets are $10-$15. Keep up with Rose at caitlinrose.com.

Fans of Rose should catch up with Tenci at 8 p.m. April 9 and Snail Mail at 9 p.m. April 28 also at George’s in Fayetteville. Tickets and more at linktr.ee/onthemapshows.
