The Peterson Brothers

For over a decade, these Texas natives have been building a fan base across America, playing a mixture of Funk and Soul classics, as well as their original music, that includes jam-band style improvisation by Glenn, Jr. on vocals and guitar, and Alex on bass, vocals and violin.

The Peterson Brothers' love for Funk, Soul, and Blues music was born when their mother and grandmother brought home a crate of assorted albums and turntable from a garage sale. They learned to play by listening to artists like The Isley Brothers, Earth, Wind & Fire, The Brothers Johnson, and B.B King. Some of their first consistent gigs included regular performances at Antone's, The Saxon Pub and other renowned venues in Austin.

The duo have since traveled the U.S. performing at the Chicago Blues Festival, Minnesota State Fair, Texas State Fair, Riverbend Festival, Eric Clapton's Crossroads Guitar Festival and many others. They've opened for legendary artists including Gary Clark Jr., Kenny Wayne Shepherd, Jesse Johnson (The Time), Willie Nelson, B.B. King, New Power Generation (Prince's longtime band), Buddy Guy and more.

Minneapolis Star Tribune named them the band likely to earn the biggest fest buzz after performing at the Roots, Rock and Deep Blues Festival.

"To witness the Peterson Brothers' live show is to witness sheer joy."
