Grammy-award-winning songwriter to perform at St. Paul’s Episcopal School

MOBILE, Ala. ( WKRG ) — A Grammy-award-winning songwriter will perform at his alma mater, St. Paul’s Episcopal School, Thursday night.

Monty Criswell graduated from St. Paul’s in 1986 and credited the school for changing his life.

“St. Paul’s — they kind of changed my whole life and taught me so much about how to stand on a platform and jump off of it with a leap of faith,” said Criswell.

Criswell has written songs for George Strait, Trace Adkins, Eric Church, and Scotty McCreery.

The concert will be held at 7 p.m. at the Monte L Moorer Theatre, and the cost to get in is $15 for adults and $5 for children.

All the proceeds from the concert will go to St. Paul’s Fine Arts Program.
