2022 marks the 25th year since Gretchen Peters first set foot on a UK stage. The release of her debut album The Secret of Life, championed by beloved BBC Radio 2 presenters Terry Wogan and Bob Harris, sparked what has turned out to be an enduring relationship with her UK fans and an equally long-lived touring career in the UK.

Inducted into the Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame in October 2014, 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 two Grammys ('Independence Day'/Martina McBride, 'You Don’t Even Know Who I Am'/Patty Loveless), a Golden Globe ('Here I Am'/Bryan Adams), and numerous other awards.

Her 2015 album Blackbirds debuted at No.1 on the UK country chart and in the top 40 UK pop chart, and was awarded International Album of the Year and Song of the Year. In 2015, The Telegraph named her one of the greatest 60 female singer-songwriters of all time.

In 2021 she was awarded The Poets Award by the Academy of Country Music. Her 2022/2023 UK Tour celebrates a quarter century of performing in the UK and comes with the release of a new live album: The Show: Live from the 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.
