Moving on up in our Branson Show Reviews!
This year we have really been working hard to promote our Branson show at the Little Opry Theatre. We are so thankful to have a steady job (as musicians that is no easy feat) and the intimacy that the Little Opry provides is a perfect fit for our bluegrass show. We were recently listed on TripAdvisor as an attraction and started out as #395 out of #384 (not even sure how that is possible haha). The last time I checked the concerts and shows category we were #61 out of #158! TripAdvisor is a great tool that allows visitors to read real Branson show reviews to make their decision on what attractions will be worth their time. We greatly appreciate everyone taking the time to rate us. The reviews are so encouraging and we love reading feedback on our show. If you haven’t already done so, click on the link below and help us out.
The Show Must Go On
We really do have the best fans in the world and your support means the world to us. Connect with us on Patreon where you’ll find special performances, fun surprises, and hear new music first.
Let’s band together.

09/16/2022Bring Back Bear Tracks
NewsPlease click the play button below to prepare your hearts and minds for the following message. Join the movement! One of the first songs Julianne learned as a part of The Petersens was the bluegrass song, Bear Tracks. The Petersens released Julianne’s cover of the song on their album, Finally Going Home, and it has been a fan favorite ever since. For many years, our Patreon community and the people of YouTube have been requesting Julianne revisit the song of her youth, but to everyone’s dismay, she has stayed strong in her refusal. Now that Julianne is taking a small break from the band to finish her college studies, we have decided it is time to rally the people and create a movement to Bring Back Bear Tracks!

05/11/2020The Petersens Get Creative to Keep Entertaining During Pandemic
NewsLocal award-winning American roots music band, The Petersens, has created a page on the online platform Patreon as a new way to stay connected with their fans during the coronavirus pandemic. Patreon allows fans to access exclusive content and interactions with artists by choosing one of five membership tiers that start at only $3 per month. Each higher membership tier gives patrons all the benefits of the previous tiers plus new perks. “We have wanted to start a Patreon page for several months but never had time to create it between performing our shows in Branson and on the road and producing our YouTube videos,” said Ellen Petersen, director of marketing and band singer and banjo player. “Now that we cannot perform live for groups of people, it was the perfect opportunity for us to focus our efforts on connecting more with fans online.” In addition to providing patrons exclusive content, Patreon allows The Petersens to set financial support goals that, when reached, unlock more exclusive content and experiences for their patrons. When The Petersens reached their first two goals, they released a new video and learned a song of their patrons’ choice. They recently reached their third goal and will deliver on their promise to video Ellen yodeling for 1,000 seconds while siblings Katie, Matt, and Julianne do backup dance moves. “The goals are a really fun way for us to provide extra joy for our fans,” said Petersen. “We have patrons from all around the world who we have been able to interact with on Patreon. It’s incredibly humbling that they believe in us enough to financially support us and encourage us during this time.” The Petersens’ Patreon page can be found at patreon.com/thepetersens. You can also find them on their Facebook page, YouTube channel, on Instagram under @petersenbluegrassband and on Twitter under @PetersenBand.Read More
