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 Halcyon:
...Like Gillian Welch, Lucinda Williams and the great Emmylou Harris, Gretchen Peters is a precocious talent. The tag for her work is alternative country but with a voice as haunting and controlled as this, she could sing anything put in front of her. Halcyon is jam-packed with gorgeous musical moments, particularly the beautiful Aviator's Song and If Heaven. -Belfast (UK) Telegraph

...unlike the competition she regularly approaches the subject from an oblique angle lyrically and in the process draws you inexorably into her world. Halcyon is a solid contender in the "Best of 2004" stakes...
-Folkwax Magazine

...No flowery prose, no false sentiment, no artificial anger or angst, just simple messages of life, love and loss wrapped up in elegant, organic arrangements. Peters has something of the same potent sincerity which makes Bruce Springsteen an enduringly fascinating songwriter.
...a masterly lesson in the art of effortless, fluid writing - with pared down arrangements and a lightness of touch that oozes confidence.
...more restrained then her previous outings, Halcyon still packs an emotional punch, with the bittersweet 'Imogene' and 'Tomorrow Morning', both as intelligent as we've come to expect from this introspective mistress of rootsy, lo-fi country.

...A brave and beautiful collection.
-Manchester (UK) Online

...absolutely essential listening. -Shakenstir.co.uk

... In a word, superb. Gretchen is one of USA's best singer-songwriters, and this ranks as her finest moment. Refreshingly frank, even caustic.
-Leicester (UK) Mercury

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.
