Circle of Friends: Gretchen Peters - April 7 with Carolann Solebello

GRETCHEN PETERS
with Carolann Solebello
April 7th 8PM $20

Gretchen Peters is a multiple GRAMMY nominee and Country Music Association Song of the Year winner. For two decades, she has been one of Nashville's most beloved and respected artists, known never to shy away from darkness and struggle in her writing. "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."

Gretchen has risen to the top of her craft by writing and recording songs that explore the deep corners of life with empathy and integrity. She 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. http://www.gretchenpeters.com/

New York singer/songwriter Carolann Solebello https://carolannsolebello.com/ will open the show. With a smooth, compelling voice and warm acoustic guitar, she nods to rural folk traditions, but creates lyrics that rise from the shadows of the towers, bridges, and highways of her urban home. Carolann was an original member of Red Molly.
