Great Acoustic Music in an Intimate Setting

Join us April 15 for the Log House premiere of  Grammy-nominated singer/songwriter Gretchen Peters.    

We are thrilled to welcome singer/songwriter Gretchen Peters to the Log House. She will be accompanied by her husband, great pianist Barry Walsh..

Martina McBride’s 1995 recording of Peters’ “Independence Day,” the gritty story of an abused woman’s revenge, made Peters a songwriting sensation. The performance received a “Best Country Song” Grammy nomination and won the Country Music Association’s “Song of the Year” title. After that a string of great vocalists – Pam Tillis, Trisha Yearwood, Patty Loveless, Neil Diamond, George Strait, Etta James – began to record Peters’ songs. Peters also signed her own record deal, yielding her 1996 debut album The Secret of Life. The title track was cut by Faith Hill in 1999 and hit number five on the country charts.

Since then Peters has recorded six other solo albums: Gretchen Peters (2001), Halcyon (2004), Trio Live (2006), Burnt Toast and Offerings (2007), Northern Lights (2008), and, the just released, Hello Cruel World.

Barry Walsh  has backed such country, folk and pop luminaries as Waylon Jennings, Roy Orbison, Dottie West, Johnny Paycheck, Jimmy Webb and Nanci Griffith on the stage and in the studio. But he’s also fashioned a new career for himself as musical partner (and husband) to Gretchen Peters and as an artist in his own right, recently releasing his second solo album, Paradiso..
