Gretchen Peters made a return to The Queen’s Hall Edinburgh tonight with songs from her new album “Dancing With The Beast”, and support from Kim Richey. For anyone with the slightest interest in gifted songwriters, this was a rare “two for the price of one” show.

Gretchen Peters was last at The Queen’s Hall in February 2016 when “The Essential Gretchen Peters” album had just been released, and that was my first introduction to her music.  Since then, I have been finding a lot more Gretchen Peters songs to listen to.

The new album “Dancing With The Beast”, was released at the end of March this year and is the follow up to the award winning 2015 album “Blackbirds”, and the 11 tracks on this new album (you can listen to them on Gretchen’s official website at http://www.gretchenpeters.com/)  clearly, I think, show that another award winning album is here.

Gretchen Peters is a very special songwriter... read the rest of the review here.
