Peters’ ability to give voice A singer and songwriter whose work is both literate and easily relatable, Gretchen Peters has enjoyed a successful career as a recording artist, releasing a series of albums that have made her a cult heroine thanks to her clear, expressive voice and way with a melody. Her recordings have earned her a devoted following, but there are plenty of folks who are fans of her work and don’t even know it — Peters is a go-to songwriter for many of the biggest Names in country and pop. In 1991, Peters’ “The Chill of an Early Fall” was recorded by George Strait and became her first hit as a tunesmith, while Martina McBride’s 1993 recording of “Independence Day” was not only a major success, but was voted Song of the Year by the Country Music Association. Enjoy this wonderful evening of music with a festive theme. “Gretchen’s special guest will be her “Blackbirds" cowriter and collaborator Ben Glover”. Y0u will also have the ability to interact with her after the show on our Zoom platform.
