“Songwriting is a good way to let off steam.”
People connect with her songs, she says.
“I have looked out in to the audience and seen people in tears."
Having performed in folk clubs from an early age, Grant worked professionally in the country music scene until 1992 when she was involved in a serious road accident along with her husband Al.
Injuries kept her off the road for five years, but in that time she wrote more music. She made a comeback with a new show and new songs, she says. She also went on to record 11 more albums.
“I wrote inspirational gospel songs while I was in recovery. The songs are mostly to do with my husband and my family and with what’s happening in the world.”
