    March 1, 2026

    I’m so excited to announce that I’ll be coming back to Europe to perform on Where the River Meets the Song – a week long river cruise through the beautiful wine country of Burgundy and Provence in November 2027. I’ll be appearing alongside my friends and fellow award winning…

  • The Matador – Top 10 Americana songs of all time (UK-Americana feature)
    January 16, 2026

    Many, many thanks to Americana-UK‘s Graeme Tait for naming “The Matador” at the top of his list of Americana songs of all time. Normally I have an aversion to music journalism that attempts to “explain” a song, or a musical work; in this case I think he did such a fine…

Hello Cruel World

Gretchen Peters - Hello Cruel World

Hello Cruel World, with its many versions of Americana, is expertly and sincerely free of cliches, or false romantic notions about any subject it addresses. Its large spiritual truths are revealed in the only way they matter: small, intimate experiences. This album comes to the listener as a gift wrapped in tattered paper, making it all the more precious to receive.
- Thom Jurek / AllMusic
