Songwriting Workshop with Gretchen Peters

Two day Songwriting Workshop with Gretchen Peters

September 26 & 27 * 9am - 5pm

For over two decades, Gretchen Peters has been one of Nashville's most beloved and

respected artists. "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.” Inducted into the Nash-

ville Songwriters Hall of Fame in October 2014 by singer-songwriter Rodney Crowell,

who called her "both a songwriter and a poet (who) sings as beautifully as she writes,”

and said her song “The Matador”, "moved me so greatly, I cried from the soles of my

feet”, Peters has accumulated accolades as a songwriter for artists as diverse as Etta

James, Bonnie Raitt, The Neville Brothers, Patty Loveless, George Strait, Bryan Adams

and Faith Hill. Her song “Independence Day”, recorded by Martina McBride, won a CMA

Song of the Year award in 1995. She has been nominated for 2 Grammys (“Indepen-

dence Day/Martina McBride, “You Don’t Even Know Who I Am”/Patty Loveless), a Gold-

en Globe (“Here I Am”/Bryan Adams), and numerous other awards. Her 2015 album,

Blackbirds was awarded International Album of the Year and Song of the Year by the UK

Americana Association. In 2015, The Telegraph named her one of the greatest 60 fe-

male singer-songwriters of all time. In 2021 she was awarded The Poets Award by the

Academy of Country Music.
