Gretchen Peters, singer-songwriter and Grammy nominee from Nashville has recently put out a new album called Hello Cruel World. During the recordings she wrote about her most inner thought and her truth which according to her makes it the most intimate album she ever made.

Gretchen is inspired by both renowned artists like Paul Simon, Bob Dylan and Joni Mitchell and a new generation of songwriters from Nashville. Her sweet voice and smooth guitar play are cleverly connected through the riffs, rythms and timbre that are fascinating to listen to.

All in all Hello Cruel World tells you the tale of surviving life and finding strength, joy and growth in a world more complex then ever.

Willie Darktrousers
Willie seems a little bit strange, but with his ragged voice and an old guitar he does know how to catch us. With his Dutch songs about dark occurings he takes us to his youth and tells us about the small towns he grew up in.
