Gretchen Peters

Artist Information

Opry Member Martina McBride's recording of her stirring "Independence Day," a song that deals with domestic abuse, was nominated for a Grammy and took home Song of the Year honors at the CMAs. Her work has been performed by everyone from Etta James and Neil Diamond to George Strait and Grand Ole Opry Member Trisha Yearwood. "If Peters never delivers another tune as achingly beautiful as 'On A Bus To St. Cloud,'" People Magazine wrote, "she has already earned herself a spot among country's upper echelon of contemporary composers."
