25 May 2026 - Amy Grant - The 6th of January (Yasgur's Farm)

"Amy Grant writing a song about the January 6th incident in Washington, DC" was not on my 2026 bingo card.

Here we are. 

Released as a single on January 6th of this year - and the lead track on her album The Me That Remains, released May 8th - it's about more than that specific event, but the unrest that happens around us, and being present in the moment despite these moments of turmoil. She's definitely not taking a side.

The song is sweet and hopeful, and on this Memorial Day, I think we need that.

By the way, for those who don't get the reference, Matt Yasgur owned a daily farm in Bethel, NY and leased one of his field for a music festival in 1969 that neighboring towns declined to host.  Oh, that music festival was Woodstock.  Did I forget to mention that? 

By the way, Amy suffered a pretty traumatic brain injury four years ago, so it's pretty incredible that she's recording at all......

Let alone performing the song live, and doing so beautifully.
