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 Trio:
it is a major treat that one year on from Gretchen's third studio release, we have these songs stripped bare in concert interpretations, since Peters possesses an edgy singing voice that will break your heart as easily as her stories and lyrics. Trio would be a sort of greatest hits collection, except that to do Gretchen's song catalogue justice the reality would have been a multi-disc set.
-Folkwax magazine
...her songwriting is better than 99% of writers working in this or any other genre. Not only that, but she has a serious voice too, one of those effortlessly pure instruments that clutches at your heart and guts and twists them out of shape. So, for those whove missed out so far Trio is the perfect place to begin. A live album, recorded with a pianist and bassist as accompanists, hence the title, it cherrypicks the best bits from her previous studio recordings and presents them in a stripped down form. Virtually without exception they work better in this style, as it allows concentration on Peters voice and superlative songs.

..."Like Water Into Wine" is a carnal piece simmering with just the right amounts of hope and desperation. (Barry) Walsh and (Dave) Francis shade the song in all the right places and provide a soft place for Peters crystalline vocals to fall. The lump-in-the-throat "This Used To Be My Town," from last years Halcyon album, has Gretchen climbing into the skin of a departed girl who hovers over her lifeless body, the people, and the town that defined who she was when she was alive. The haunting track is one of the best songs Peters has ever written.
-Countryreview.com
...some singers were born to perform and Gretchen Peters is definitely one of them. Trio, on which she and her guitar are sparsely supplemented by piano and acoustic bass, is a startling record - her voice arrestingly beautiful, her delivery perfect and the songs divine.
-HMV magazine (UK)
...her songs are like micro-novels: they have settings, plots and are inhabited by utterly believable characters, such as the lonely performer in Circus Girl. Indeed, her evocation of a murdered girl's return to her home, This Used To Be My Town, brings to mind Alice Sebold's recent bestselling novel, The Lovely Bones. Peters brings almost as many heart-rending details and almost as profound a sense of lost promise as most writers could manage in a novel.
-Country Music People (UK)
...this whole CD sees the incisive singer-songwriter at a peak of melodic, immaculately-crafted brilliance. Tracks such as the Patty Loveless hit Like Water Into Wine, the poignantly reflective Main Street and This Used To Be My Town are fine-cut gems of contemporary rootsy songcraft.
-Maverick magazine (UK)
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.
