Grammy-nominated folk/country legend Gretchen Peters is a musical force to be reckoned with. After moving to Nashville in the late 1980s, she found work as a songwriter, composing hits for greats such as Etta James and Neil Diamond and co-writing songs with Bryan Adams. Her penned hit, Independence Day, recorded by Martina McBride in 1995, received a Grammy nomination for Best Country Song, and also won the Country Music Association Song of the Year award. In addition, Peters has released seven studio albums of her own. The title track of her 1996 debut album, The Secret of Life, was later recorded by Faith Hill in 1999, for whom it became a Top 5 country hit.
...some singers were born to perform and Gretchen Peters is definitely one of them….her voice arrestingly beautiful, her delivery perfect and the songs divine - HMV magazine (UK)
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
