Gretchen Peters

In a brief essay on her website, Gretchen Peters says, “I think great songs are born. They are born with all the urgency of childbirth, born out of pain, anger, joy, wit, and delivered by instinct, skill and love.” It is this passion for the song that fuels all facets of a career that has brought her to the Grammys twice as a songwriter, won her a CMA Song Of The Year award for the groundbreaking Independence Day, taken her on repeated sold-out tours across the UK and Ireland, and seen the release of seven critically acclaimed albums.
