    Southern Raised, a group of award winning kinfolk, trained in classical music but raised in the bluegrass soaked Ozark Mountains. They have created a Southern Raised trademark sound where classical meets bluegrass and city streets meets country roads. SR has morphed a progressive sound that spans Christian Country/ Bluegrass, Celtic and Classical. They’re talented, they’re energetic, they’re Southern Raised.

    I learned to walk and talk, learned to read and write in the hills of West Virginia. My momma a coal miners daughter taught me how to pray in the hills of West Virginia. It will always be a special place to me.

    Masterpiece once made by John Denver is equally amazingly made by this people! Bravo! Especially bravo to violin lady ❤️ that’s overawesome

    One of my life's premier memories is driving through West Virginia in the summer of 1973. My 3 best friends were with me, and we harmonized to "Country Roads" as we drove. . . I could barely see the road for my tears at the beauty of blended voices and scenery.

    Gday! I'm 72yrs young, a country boy from a little country town, Allora, in Australia. My son lived in Pittsburgh for a while and my wife and I visited him and his wife there in 2004. I borrowed their car and toured eight states and loved it, with the first one being West Virginia. Listening to the car radio while driving, we heard Bluegrass music for the first time and loved it straight up. Coincidentally, that first bluegrass music for us came from an Aussie radio station Hawkesbury Radio, broadcasting through one of the West Virginia radio stations, how good was that! While travelling in your great land, we avoided the freeways and the blacktop (a word we had to find the meaning of 😄) and took to the country roads which is what we do back here at home. So the Country Roads song hits the spot with me. One of my favourite bluegrass bands no longer plays, but now I've found you guys, you're now top of my list. Luv yas!

      I moved to east Tennessee in2012 and in a very short time I felt that way to. Driving down the roads and having people waving or going to the store and having people talk like they have known you for years. They always want to help you if you need it😃😃. That is how I was raised. Wish more people would be that way. It would be a better world I feel.

      I drove through West Virginia 10 years ago with my grandfather who is now dead. The first time we saw the sign West Virginia we were astounded by how beautiful it was a few minutes later going down into this valley. My grandfather started crying because he knew his time was coming soon.. I visited West Virginia for work a few months ago and it’s very spiritual. I asked my bartender at this hotel in West Virginia if she knows how beautiful it is and why other people don’t know about it and she said… We want to keep it that way. People talk crap about the state and their people and it’s completely unjustified. I’ve never met more genuine people in my life. What you see is what you get

    I grew up in Elliott County...a little town tucked way back in the hollers and hills of Kentucky. Keith Whitley and Ricky Skaggs and so many others seemed to be part of most of our celebrations and grievings. The Petersen Family transports and transcends every genre and box many people have tried to squeeze bluegrass into intentionally and unwittingly. The musicality and talent and gifting of this group are beyond beautiful.

    Brilliant again guys. Kudos for the videography (whoever did it) and the direction Matt. For me your clips are as good as anything on RUclips and have a real connection to where you're from and your music. Cheers from Australia.
