I didn’t know about Gretchen until I met her at our fundraiser last year, June 2023 in Asti, CA. And although I’m not a country music fan, Gretchen’s music has me hypnotised. Love to you, Gretchen.💜

She's gone from someone I've never heard of to one of my favorite singer songwriters in the course of a concert.

The first time I heard Gretchen Peters sing a song I stopped what I was doing to listen to the lyrics, that is great songwriting, one that makes you take notice. She is great!

The best concert I've seen in years and I didn't have to leave the house. Gretchen Peters is an extraordinary writer. So many ah ha moments and she can make that little lump in your throat just grows a little larger.

2 good guitarist from Ireland, and of course Bryan is always in top performance, Gretchen always in top form, love her music, lyrics, she is great....writes from the truth...some people dislike her lyrics, but she speaks truth....

so glad they put this on you tube....

By the second song I was thinking she sure has a great lead guitarist over there just slaying it and the bass player is right in the pocket. She and her husband are always tight but they have been doing this for years but man they could not have gotten two better people to accompany them.

Among the finest of our times. Such a brilliant sense of reality & humanity. What a gift you are Gretchen !

[@SteveDonofrio]

Stunning songwriting cuts deeper than the bone, it gets in your marrow.

WOW! what a great performance !!!!

[@spring74light]

I had the good fortune to hear Gretchen, and John Lester on bass, about 16 years back at Newcastle Quayside. A breath-takingly good performance. She certainly has, and retains, the magical zizz!

[@dogboyy2k12]

That's what I thought you might say - very predictable ! Anyway back to the good music.
