Gretchen Peters on Art of the Song – Tonight at 11 pm

She’s well known as the writer of the 1995 CMA Song of the Year, 'Independence Day’. We spoke with Gretchen about her 2018 release Dancing with the Beast.

From her bio: “Dancing with the Beast puts female characters at the fore, from teenage girls to old women, and intentionally so. With the 2017 Women's March and #MeToo movement as bookends to her writing, Gretchen knew that a feminist perspective would be the critical core of the record.”

Art of the Song is heard Thursday nights at 11:00 pm on KRCB-FM Radio 91 / streaming @ radio.krcb.org / Comcast channel 961 throughout the Bay Area / Download the FREE KRCB App @ iTunes & Google Play!
