Inducted into the Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame in 2014, 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. Her song “Independence Day”, recorded by Martina McBride, won a CMA Song of the Year award in 1995. She has been nominated for 2 Grammys (”Independence Day/Martina McBride, ‘You Don’t Even Know Who I Am’/Patty Loveless), a Golden Globe (’Here I Am’/Bryan Adams), and numerous other awards. “If Peters never delivers another tune as achingly beautiful as ‘On A Bus To St. Cloud‘,” People Magazine wrote, “she has already earned herself a spot among country’s upper echelon of contemporary composers.” Her 2015 album, BLACKBIRDS was awarded 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. In 2021 she was awarded The Poets Award by the Academy of Country Music. With a reputation for a prolific studio output, Peters released her most recent work, THE NIGHT THEY WROTE THE SONG: THE SONGS OF MICKEY NEWBURY in 2020. Praised by Rolling Stone as “mesmerizing“, the collection saw Peters take a deep dive into the catalogue of the late great American songwriter and offer her own enchanting spin on 12 classic cuts.
