Description
Hailed by many as one of Nashvilles best contemporary songwriters, Gretchen Peters intelligent and introspective songs have been covered by pop, country, blues and folk artists all over the world. She possesses a rare ability to drive a strong point, yet capture it eloquently in song. That ability has won Peters two Grammy nominations for the heart-wrenching Patty Loveless hit, You Dont Even Know Who I Am, and Martina McBrides award-winning recording of Independence Day", an in-your-face look at domestic violence. She has sold millions of records over the past decade, as stars Faith Hill, Bonnie Raitt, Martina McBride, Etta James, The Neville Brothers, George Strait, Trisha Yearwood, Bryan Adams, Patty Loveless, Billy Ray Cyrus, Pam Tillis, Neil Diamond and a host of others have covered her songs.
As an artist, Gretchen has regularly toured in the UK, Ireland and Europe to sold out crowds. In a review of her self-titled album, GRETCHEN PETERS, The Associated Press says, This is not jukebox music - the stuff that exists to fill in the pauses in conversation. This IS the conversation.
Praise for The Secret Of Life:
offers 10 fresh reasons to elect her to the country songwriter's Hall of Fame... Peters, whose choir-girl voice has a seductive hint of late nights and cigarettes, knows the tunesmith's secret: crafting a good love song... The passionately elegiac When You Are Old is a declaration of eternal devotion: "When your brave tales have all been told/ I'll ask for them when you are old." In Peters' music every tale is brave, unique, beautiful.
-Time Magazine
"If Peters never delivers another tune as achingly beautiful as "On a Bus to St. Cloud,"... she has already earned herself a spot among country's upper echelon of contemporary composers."
-People Magazine
"she has more in common with the romantic sensibilities of Rickie Lee Jones... Peters' songs about emotional thirsts that never get quenched have a quiet power all their own..."
-Entertainment Weekly
Gretchen was nominated in 2003 for a Golden Globe award for her work on the DreamWorks animated film, Spirit: Stallion of the Cimarron, and her multi-award winning "Independence Day" was recently included in CMT's list of The Top 100 Greatest Songs in Country Music.
