“I think great songs are born. They are born with all the urgency of childbirth, born out of pain, anger, joy, wit, and delivered by instinct, skill and love.” It is this passion for the song that fuels all facets of a career that has brought Peters to the Grammys twice as a songwriter, won her a CMA Song Of The Year award for the groundbreaking Independence Day, taken her on repeated sold-out tours across the UK and Ireland, and seen the release of five critically acclaimed albums...

"Gretchen Peters (aided by co-producer Doug Lancio) has fashioned a wondrous, wrenching personal reflection on love. Setting her personal reflections to music and arrangements that have, at times, a spare beauty and, at others, a soaring but demure grandeur, Peters makes sure that nothing's overdone, despite the presence of orchestral elements, cooing pop background voices, and evocative instrumental flourishes courtesy of violins, violas, cellos, and clarinets. Peters...has a poet's eye for the telling detail. Deep and deeply beautiful, Burnt Toast & Offerings is a fully realized work of art."
