I saw this amazing family perform 4 years ago in Branson and was hooked immediately. I bought all of their cds after the show and met this incredibly nice family too. You can’t go wrong with any of their cds. Top Notch!!

Another Must Have for The Petersens Fan. Shenandoah is another, early CD of The Petersens; this time from 2017. The previous CD, “Finally Going Home” was actually released in 2012, not 2014 as indicated in my review of that CD, meaning that you have roughly a 9 and 4 year preview/insight or history, when you get both CDs, into the growth of the wonderfully talented, current The Petersens Band (consisting of the 4 siblings as here + Emmett on the dobro and mom on the bass) that you may have discovered after coming across their amazing “COVID era” You Tube videos, done live and without an audience, that gave the current band their very well-deserved global following. I love this family of very special siblings (Katie, Ellen, Matt and Julianne), all of whom have wonderful and unique voices, but with an uncanny ability to harmonize as a family as on so many songs on this CD. Mom and Dad must be so very proud of them, their talents, and of their character. Some favorites of the 11 tracks on this CD are the lovely Fields of Gold featuring Julianne, Matt’s singing on California Cotton Fields, the amazing cover by Ellen of Patsy Kline’s She’s Got You, a really wonderful version of the title song Shenandoah featuring Katie, and of course there are the 3 love, or lack thereof as impossible as that may seem, songs related to Katie including the humorous The Ring Song, the heart wrenching California, and It’s Over. I have purchased these early CDs, as well as all of their other more recent content. The Petersens really are that good and their music is always worth repeated listening’s.

Was driving home in my rented Nissan Murano and popped their cd in that I bought after their June 10th show in Branson. Made my 500+ mile trip back to Joliet, IL fly by. Excellent. It’s kinda dreamy, like Toto or Christopher Cross. In a bluegrass way.
