Robert Peterson and The Crusade

Robert Peterson and The Crusade is an American rock group based out of St. Paul, MN. They are currently in the final phases of recording material for their debut album, "Change Coming On," and eager to share their original Modern/Classic rock music with the world..

Where the members who make up this band hail from isn't as relevant as where they are headed. Yet consider this, the band's members cut their teeth in various bands across the Midwest and are led by guitarist, Robert Peterson, who produced, arranged, and penned all the band's material. In the style of an old familiar rock and roll fable, Peterson put his Master of Science degree to work by day as a biologist for a federal agency and then honed his musical craft in his off-time. He garnered enough original material to warrant a recording session at Tangerine Studios.

What distinguishes Robert Peterson and The Crusade's music is its emphasis on melody - brought to the forefront with the perfect blend of lead and harmony vocals, catchy guitar hooks, and memorable and meaningful lyrics. The band expresses their 'sound,' through its musical depth, which retains a strong commitment to rock and roll's mass appeal sensibilities.

Robert Peterson and The Crusade's debut single, "Baa Baa the Black Sheep," debuted at #2 on the independent Christian Radio Chart and is available for download on the STORE section of their website. The track is also available on Spotify, iTunes, YouTube Music, Apple Music, iHeartRadio, Amazon, and many other music streaming platforms.
