Lincs: Country star Gretchen Peters brings Nashville to the Engine Shed

Gretchen Peters plays live at the Engine Shed in Lincoln this week

Since the release of her album Hello Cruel World in 2012, Gretchen Peters she’s appeared at the Glastonbury, Isle of Wight and Cambridge Folk Festivals and in addition to headlining her own sold-out tours, she’s supported country and folk legends Guy Clark, Arlo Guthrie and John Prine (duetting with the latter at several shows).

The latest accolade for the Nashville-based singer-songwriter will be her induction into the Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame last October.

There she joined a list that included Johnny Cash, Rodney Crowell, Don & Phil Everly, Woody Guthrie, Merle Haggard, Tom T. Hall, Harlan Howard, Kris Kristofferson, Dolly Parton, Jimmy Webb and Hank Williams.

This momentum has continued with her new album Blackbirds and Peters admits she feels at her best when surrounded by fellow music makers.

She is at the Engine Shed on Friday night (27th March) at 7pm.
