b'We had the pleasure of interviewing Gretchehn Peters over Zoom video.

Grammy-nominated and CMA Award-winning recording artist Gretchen Peters has long been known for her songwriting. Folks like George Strait and Martina McBride cut her songs early on, and since then, she\'s penned hits for the likes of Trisha Yearwood, Pam Tillis, Bonnie Raitt, and Neil Diamond, and was inducted into the Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame in 2014. But, until you\\u2019ve heard Peters\\u2019 clear, expressive voice recite her own expertly-crafted melodies live on stage, you\\u2019re only getting half of the story. Luckily for longtime fans and curious onlookers, Peters has just announced a brand new live album, The Show: Live from the UK\\u2014out now via Proper Music Group. Featuring 18 songs from Peters\\u2019 beloved catalog The Show marks her first release since 2020\\u2019s tribute to Mickey Newbury, The Night You Wrote That Song and her first live release since 2005\\u2019s Trio.

Culled from three performances from Peters\\u2019 2019 Strings Attached Tour\\u2014April 19th at St. George\\u2019s, Bristol, UK; April 22nd at The De La Warr Pavilion, Bexhill-On-Sea, UK; and April 23rd at The Apex, Bury St. Edmunds, UK\\u2014The Show features Peters\\u2019 touring band\\u2014Barry Walsh (piano, vocals), Colm McClean (electric guitar, vocals), and Conor McCreanor (electric and upright bass, vocals\\u2014as well as an all-female, Scottish string quartet featuring Seonaid Aitken (violin), Amira Bedrush-McDonald (violin), Sarah Leonard (viola), and Alice Allen (cello). The resulting album feels like a you-had-to-be-there retrospective of Peters\\u2019 illustrious career to date, framed with new-but-familiar arrangements focused on letting her songwriting shine.
