Celtic Connections proudly presents Gretchen Peters and The Black Denims
For over two decades, Gretchen Peters has been one of Nashville's most beloved, respected, and celebrated artists.
Inducted into the Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame in 2014 by singer-songwriter Rodney Crowell, who called her "both a songwriter and a poet (who) sings as beautifully as she writes,” Peters has accumulated accolades as a songwriter for artists as diverse as Etta James, Bonnie Raitt, The Neville Brothers, Patty Loveless, George Strait, Bryan Adams and Faith Hill.
She has been nominated for two Grammys, a Golden Globe, and numerous other awards. Her 2015 album, Blackbirds, was named International Album of the Year and Song of the Year by the UK Americana Association. In 2015, The Telegraph named her one of the greatest 60 female singer-songwriters of all time and in 2021, she was awarded The Poets Award by the Academy of Country Music.
The Black Denims are Scotland’s newest country supergroup. Fronted by Scott McPherson, 29, and with an expanse of 8 members, the band hail from diverse musical backgrounds, and seek to blend the disciplines of jazz, folk, bluegrass and country into their songwriting lore. While retaining a Scottish charm, and with an emphasis on poetic lyricism and story telling, the group are known for their energetic live performances and melancholic themes. Their series of mini-albums ‘Grateful For Small Mercies Act 1,2,3’ are their firm stamp on the new beginnings of Scottish folk music.
