Nashville singer/songwriter Gretchen Peters has released her new album Dancing With The Beast. A collection of songs which give voice to powerful stories of personal struggle, loss, doubt and redemption, the record has already generated acclaim from publications such as Rolling Stone Country, Taste of Country, Digital Journal, and more. 'I admire characters that are heroic in a very quiet, kind of stoic way,' says Peters. 'They don't do overtly heroic things, but just the act of persisting in a life for a long time to me is very heroic and very human... They're persisting and in their persistence there's a heroism that may be quiet and easily overlooked. I find it really inspiring.'

And still, my fans are right here with me, waiting patiently in support of my next move.” – ROGER JOSEPH MANNING JR.
