Songwriter Gretchen Peters, whose compositions have triggered hit records for Neil Diamond, Bonnie Raitt, Martina McBride, Etta James, Faith Hill and Bryan Adams, is quite a singer in her own right. She has made two appearances in the Dallas area in the past year (at Uncle Calvin’s Coffeehouse and McDavid Studio in Fort Worth), playing tunes from her latest record, Burnt Toast & Offerings. It’s a theme album whose songs were inspired (if that’s the word) by Ms. Peters’ recent divorce. And last week, she was named FolkWax Artist of the Year by FolkWax, which describes itself as the largest subscribed weekly in the singer-songwriter genre. It’s an award voted on by readers, who picked Ms. Peters over Patty Griffin, Matt and Shannon Heaton, Josh Ritter and Eric Taylor. |
