Every show we saw in Branson was entertaining, but there was something special about The Petersens. The musicianship...the humor...the variety of genres. all with a beautiful bluegrass sound. I'd never experienced anything quite like it. If you're heading to Branson, DON"T MISS THE PETERSENS!
I have been kind of following them online, but although my wife and I have been to Branson many times for some reason or another have never gone to their show. (our loss). This year on December 8th we finally made it. My goodness, we loved it. What a great show. They are all so good and so personable. We will sure be going back and encourage everyone to take it in.
Such amazing talent on the instruments & vocals ability too. Absolutely loved it from start to finish!
We loved the entire show. Bluegrass, Christmas music. Every member is an accomplished singer and musician. We will definitely be back again!
We attended a Tuesday afternoon show with friends and were overwhelmingly surprised at the quality of talent! It was such a wonderful experience that we came back on Sunday afternoon and was so pleased that we did ...it was another “over-the-top” entertaining show. We highly recommend this show!
Wonderful family +1 band with a great mix of family humor, covers, and original songs. Super instrumental work and very nice harmonies made our day. Setting is a very intimate, small theater in the IMAX complex. Purchase tickets in person to get military discount and preferred seat...no poor seats in the little theater. CD’s available and personal discussion with the family after the performance was nice. This is the kind of performance that makes you love what is great about our country without being heavy handed. Go,please. Jack and Nan from Tucson
Wonderful Christian Family! Our group was completely entertained by these talented young people who are planted in their values and faith! Your parents I'm sure are proud of your accomplishments and the future that awaits you. God Bless to each of you!
This show was immensely entertaining. Very sweet Christian family. Saw them in Branson in a very nice intimate theater. The children in the band all play various instruments and also do vocals. Ellen is fabulous. The ticket prices are very reasonable. Highly recommend
Nothing fancy here, just sweet bluegrass music in an intimate theater. The vocals of the family members blended as only family can. Lovely, competent musicianship and a low key but comfortable stage presence. The siblings teased each other and cracked up the audience and occasionally themselves. It was the favorite of our 3 shows. We would go again in a minute.
