I’m a Philadelphia Police officer sitting here at 4:55 am on a Saturday morning having coffee waiting to go to work. I can honestly say after this video i can’t ask for a better morning. Thank you Petersens.
That's how you do it. You dress up, you perform in a beautiful setting, you tell a few stories, a few jokes -- and you nail the music. This family has a lot of class.
Julie Ann didn't act like she wanted to be there the first time I saw them perform....it was several years ago. She's right there with the rest of them now! It's been fun to watch her progress. Love this family's music!!!
1974jrod Enjoyed the good sense of humor, good music from talented folks using their gifts for good in this evil world. Your music is fun and a blessing. Thank you Petersons! Keep posting!
All four of the Peterson’s can sing. Emmitt is great on that dobro. My dad played the debro. He died in 1976. But my mom played mandolin and guitar. Aunt’s who play piano, guitar, mandolin, fiddle, bass (all of the instruments). My uncle who was a great banjo picker ….he played at the Opry…told my aunts that if they would stick to one instrument they might be more accomplished. However they have a band….in which mom played mandolin. She died a year ago this past June. The aunts continued with the band. My brother plays the bass with them. The Hallmarks. Composed of three aunts who are in their late 70s and 80. Point is music will carry you guys far….even when you are in yours 80s and 90
The Petersens have a problem some gold and platinum record holders can only wish for. FIVE lead singers to make room for. Matt sounds as good as his sisters and Emmitt sounds like family. Each with a distinct personal style.
@g baker, right here at the beginning, he talks. ruclips.net/video/7Ep3Ni2bPUg/видео.html And now you can hear him sing. ruclips.net/video/xRfPUrsnejg/видео.html
@g baker Yes......he has sung the lead on "Near The Cross" and "What Child is This". He has got a great voice........like a Fernando Ortega type voice.
@@drftsnvk Yeah, I only sang it all night long last night, instead of sleeping .. argh! What a pleasant thing to lose sleep over though.. Ya can't be mad about that now can ya?
I have also been amazed and blessed by the way they always love & prefer each other - they have such sweet spirits toward each other - no competition & turning out such beautiful music!! To God be the glory. Loved Beulah Land! My church is on Beulah Church Rd. Blessings!!
@@oginaz Your thought is easily shared and assuming that rap is defined as music, which objectively is not, as it is only rhythm and nothing more, it can never be compared to real music, composed of melody, harmony, rhythm and if added to the perfect performance, as demonstrated by this wonderful family musical group, then the capital (M) must be placed before the word Music. Cordial greetings.
Eat your heart out Pop Country Radio! So refreshing to hear good music without any reference to "how good a girl looks in dem blue jeans" or the likewise. Vocal harmonies are terrific, instrumentation is stellar, polished group, well done!
Second favorite for me. About 10 days ago RUclips suggested a song called "Why don't my finger got a ring". Never heard of it so was surprised it was there. After watching several other videos, I clicked on it. Five times! It was cute. Since then, I've watched nearly everything I've found by this family. That is why the ring song is my favorite. If not for that song, I may never have heard of the Petersens.
The best aspect of this family is you feel better after hearing their talents and gifts, and seeing their love and kindness in their demeanor. The world needs more families like this.
They play instruments and sing songs very well and real beautiful women don't need make-up nor dressing like sluts. They may be the all-American dreamt girlfriends / brides
Git it Momma YES My dad played the Bass for the band Tennessee Ramblers, my uncle Seiver, and McKinneys, back in the day, way before you were born! You rock.
Katie's song "California" .. WoW! We are all out there(like glen Campbell hanging on the Line) hoping you will find the real thing ..not almost . . . outstanding . . . speachless
More talent in that room that we see on the majority of the "new arrivals" on the Grand Ole Opry "circle" over the last two decades. The Petersens should be among the biggest names in country music within a short time. The rendition of Beulah Land is out of this world. Captivating. Please come back to Ireland soon again. I will be including "Beulah Land" on my show on Sky 376 Spotlight TV (Ireland, UK and Europe) on Tuesday night, May 12. Ye are an amazing family. Michael Commins, Mayo, Ireland.
I love Ellen's intro. She is very comfortable sharing her faith in the Lord with the audience. I am glad your family had an opportunity to perform to the inmates and give them hope.
Julianne's voice is AMAZING! I LOVE Katie's song "California"! and Ellen's version of Jolene is AWESOME! Matt's OUTSTANDING vocals with Katie and Ellen while keepin' that guitar rhythm in with a little at the right time, so fine. Emmitt on the slide is OH SO GOOD! The icing on the cake is Mom Petersen on the Base. How COOL is that? God Bless The Petersen Family and Friend. The Petersens are a Blessing to all that hear them.
I have the feeling this country will have several thousand heart broken men on the day that smile gets married. Those young ladies have an inner beauty that overwhelms the outer beauty. I believe that smile is from the overflow of that inner beauty. May the Lord continue to bless this family.
So incredible! You Go GURL...Julianne will be the Valedictorian of her CLASS! I went to a small Christian Day School and I'll Never REGRET it...Julianne
I got the impression Katie wrote "California" based on personal experience. If that were me, I would have a very difficult time singing it without shedding tears. You are a resilient young lady, Katie. Beautiful work. Thank you.

HI to you all from the Rhondda valley in South Wales. my what a lovely family and so very talented. really enjoy your music. That's from Wales the land of song. Keep up the good work and god bless you. Music is such a wonderful gift and brings so much happiness.
Thank GOD we live in an age of recorded sound & vision, without it we couldn't experience wonderfull music such as this. I love your song 'Calfornia' Katie.
I’m a public school music teacher and left this concert as sub plans for my students before school got out for winter break. Thanks for keeping your music clean and family friendly! They LOVE your family! You have 200+ very young fans who all now want to play “the fancy string instruments”. ❤️
That's sweet, friend. And I think in one of their vids the Petersen kids said their Mom wisely made them all take 2 years of piano lessons before choosing another instrument. I thought that was good to know.
Everything about these people is amazing. It's like drinking wholesomeness out of a silver cup. Their tunes just feel life affirming. Good for them. We need more of this right now.
I am from Indonesia, far away from your country. Although I can not understand fully the meaning of the words in your songs due to my poor English, but I really enjoy your songs. Thank you......
I'm French, aged, 75, I've played country for over 55 years, Woody Guthrie, Pete Seeger, Bill Silverman, Brownie Mc Ghee, the Lost City Ramblers, Joan Baez, John Denver, Peter Paul an Mary and many others. I feel in your way of interpreting country music, a lot of sharing, simplicity, talent both on the vocal and instrumental level, well no stars but a group of sincerity which touches me a lot. Each one expresses himself, with a lot of support from the others, the voices and the instruments stand out without polluting the group, each his sensitivity, what is simple and harmonious is difficult, not for you.
@Long duk dong I'm not exactly of the same opinion There’s a lot of similarity between country music and folk music, however, folk music’s breadth is far wider than country. In essence, country is one part of folk. It is a unique style of folk music. Many folk songs are work songs (Woody Guthrie : Hard travelling - Jackhammer Man Blues). Folk themes also include protest songs (Bob Dylan : Blowin’ in the wind - Woody Guthrie : Saco and Vanzetti album - Joan Baez : Here's to you) . These also include sea chanties, railroad songs, and cowboy songs. The origins of some old folk songs are not known (Wayfaring stranger - House of the rising sun) Country music has its roots in the American southeast and west. Its stories tell tales of lonely cowboys, lost cattle, love gone wrong, and hard-drinking at the local saloon. The Petersens music is a bit of two styles, but predominantly country, the use of dobro, for example is not used in the real folk music where the instruments were more rudimentary. When they sing, "Country Road", is typically Country Music. Some songs as “City of New Orleans” are both folkmusic (railroad song) and country music.

@@RogerBarraud Of course there are stronger characters than others, the Mama, Ellen, Kattie and in instrumental Emmett. But they fairly share the presence with the others, it is in this way that I appreciate the balance of the group.
The way to win people’s hearts is to make them smile, to entertain them causing happiness to flood their soul. That my friends, you have easily accomplished. May you feel joy in knowing that you’re making a big difference in the world!
Two years ago I had you show up on my feed on here and it was a great time for God to share your family with me it was at a time when I suffered a great lost and I have been listening to your family every since and again today on the anniversary of our lost of our daughter you are here giving me more hope and getting me through this God Bless your family and I hope someday to see you live thank you you have no idea what you have done for me thank you
Look at the blessing of a God-ordered, God honoring family. Praise God praise God. OK I’m gonna stop commenting now but I am just so thankful for this on so many levels.
Robert Burris Yes yes yes. And I love her (Katie) smile. All of them have very beautiful smiles actually. But Katie’s- It’s so full of joy and just contentment.
"Bravo et Merci" from France 🇨🇵 ! A huge thank-you to the Petersens family for introducing us to this beautiful face of the USA: a united family of beautiful people who make great music together! For this, God bless them, and God bless America !
Unfortunately it's not. They're not THAT famous... YET!😂😉 But they're blessed anyway. It's a beautiful private resort in Branson called 'Rock Canyon' formerly owned by Bill Medley of The Righteous Brothers.
I'll just say it. This version of "No Roots" beats the pants off the original. I went to look up the original, and it didn't have half the energy you guys put into this. What an awesome groove you put into this. Mama set it up with the awesome bass intro, Julianne killed it on the vocals, Matt's solid driving rhythmic backbone was perfect, Ellen and Katie's backing vocals were UNREAL, and dang it, if there is a better dobro player on earth than Emmett, I haven't heard him. His solo was a scortcher. You guys made this your own in all the best ways possible.
...youtube fed this to me 2 hrs ago. since then ive been watching you.cried laughed cried some more. you really are special , not to mention absolutely beautiful!!!! Angels
Wow, this family makes me so proud to be a Missourian. Yes, I also found tears slowing rolling down my cheeks and I’m not sure why. Maybe it’s the holly spirit filling my heart with pure joy and great music. Bravo Petersens! 👏🇺🇸❤️
„Gentle on my mind“ - my absolute favourite, wonderful performed by the youngest sister. Greetings from Cologne/ Germany 🇩🇪, and thank you for this great concert!
Ever feel the spirit of love just fill your soul. These folks are the real deal. You must go see them in person, you will walk out of the theater feeling blessed.
A "like" is hardly sufficient for this amazing family. I am a broad lover of good music from bluegrass to metal and this is one of the best groups I've encountered in a long time. I'm particularly partial to Emmett's dobro playing (a difficult instrument he plays masterfully) and Julianne's singing and mandolin playing. The original song California is also beautifully written and sung. Cheers from NC.
You are most correct in saying a like is not enough .I'm now a fan of these girls and boys as they are nothing short of awesome .Best Wishes to all from Dorset ,England .
I am a singing member of a gospel music group, "The Carriers". I also own a small sound company. I've done sound for a few bluegrass groups and The Petersons are one of the best I've heard. Live sound for acoustic instruments is not an easy thing to accomplish, due to a combination of the omni-directional microphones and feedback through stage monitor speakers. Once dialed in though, it sounds fantastic. I truly appreciate this style of music and The Petersons do it with class and a tremendous amount of talent. Soooo Good stuff here.
Step away from the Peterson's for a little while and get busy with life and then I come back... and life is in perspective again... you guys are just awesome! Impacting lives with your music:) 🥰
Came here to get my daily fix of Juianne's vocals, but i have to say that you guys killed those harmonies on Beulah Land. I've done lots of singing in church and even did a small stint in a A Capella group and man I sure do miss it.
Surround yourself with people who look at you the way this family looks at each other.
I’m a Philadelphia Police officer sitting here at 4:55 am on a Saturday morning having coffee waiting to go to work. I can honestly say after this video i can’t ask for a better morning. Thank you Petersens.
john vincent be safe! And yep, first thing I listened to this morning and it took my blah mood to make me ready to enjoy my day!
Stay safe John and thank you for doing a dangerous Job that most of us were not willing to do.
Thank you for your dedication John and God bless you.
God bless you
Don’t arrest or harass Americans for exercising their Constitutional rights and you will be one of the good guys.
I think that Matt is often under-appreciated for his skill on the guitar. You all are such talented musicians.
I think their music is just off the charts - Beautiful ❤️😅😊
Yeah I totally agree, great rythm guitarist, and a incredible voice !!!
That's how you do it. You dress up, you perform in a beautiful setting, you tell a few stories, a few jokes -- and you nail the music.
This family has a lot of class.
Pure class!
Yup. Most of the damn gigs i see is people in slacks just sitting on bed and singing like i see every day everywhere. This was refreshing.
Thanks for sharing your God given gift of music. It moves me to tears and brings my heart to feeling joy! Blessings from Bowraville Australia 🇦🇺 ☺
I could not agree more with what's been said ... thank you so much!
I agree 100%
This is what the soul needs in these lonely times.
I was thinking the same as I watched this video featuring my Petersen favorites.
I love how this family loves each other
I like the way the 3 older siblings show their joy and smiles in watching the baby perform Gentle on my Mind.
Watching each one enjoying the others talents is a pleasure...
Was thinking the same thing!
Julie Ann didn't act like she wanted to be there the first time I saw them perform....it was several years ago. She's right there with the rest of them now! It's been fun to watch her progress. Love this family's music!!!

For real.
South America too...they convey Hope to our so impoverished countries.

Definitely agree!
I've had "California" stuck in my head for two weeks! Never get tired of it!
@@drftsnvk Yeah, I only sang it all night long last night, instead of sleeping .. argh! What a pleasant thing to lose sleep over though.. Ya can't be mad about that now can ya?

Oh my, Yes!
Their harmonies are blissful.
Katie and the smile to light the world
She has a beautiful soul.
Im always struck by the constant interplay between this family. The little looks, the smiles the mutual support I think its called love .
You can tell their is 0 jealousy and nothing but admiration for each other
Hard to find in rap songs

You can see Jesus shining through this family.... theres always a huge difference in those families filled with God.. so awesome.
Very true
i agree totally
That Dobro player is on fire!
I have a Dobro and “play” it...but not like that guy. it is a hard instrument and he has mastered it. He could give Jerry Douglas a run for his money.
I'll bet he's better on a steel guitar.

JC Acoustic a lot of the lyrics are unintelligible so please examine your mix. Lyrics are important. Thanks
Agreed or the current trend of "country hip hop/rap".... this is true music with genuine rhythms, defined melodies and harmonies.
Katie is beautiful inside and out. Such a talent. It runs in the family.
Absolutely adore California, my favourite Petersens song.
It truly is a beautiful crafted and very, very touching song.
It's truly a beautiful song! Makes me feel nostalgia for a time that never was...

did you ever heard about:
KELLY FAMILY ?????
Allow me to second that, mr Wulf. :-)
I just love how Ellen and Katie always smiles for everyone showing how proud they are
Emmett has given me a new appreciation for the dobro. His solos are awesome.
He's one of the best young dobro players out there.
Emmet ROCKS!!!!
I love this Group, not a lot of fanfare, no Hollywood type makeup for the Girls... Sweetness.....
to the contrary, this is what hollywood tries to fake, to approximate with mimicry. except this is real and wholesome
They don't need any make-up. They look just fine the way they do...☺
They play instruments and sing songs very well and real beautiful women don't need make-up nor dressing like sluts. They may be the all-American dreamt girlfriends / brides

Yeah those little digs make me suspect somebody's going to get some ice cubes put down the back of their shirt or blouse later.
Man, the vocals at 3:30 in No Roots are some of my favs. And then its followed up by an awesome dobro solo.
Oh yes! That part is really intense. It's superb. Very good work there. Emmett's improvisation!!
Agree 100%

Beautiful song... I hope it becomes available via Apple Music or on another music streaming service.

Folk themes also include protest songs (Bob Dylan : Blowin’ in the wind - Woody Guthrie : Saco and Vanzetti album - Joan Baez : Here's to you) . These also include sea chanties, railroad songs, and cowboy songs.
The origins of some old folk songs are not known (Wayfaring stranger - House of the rising sun)
Country music has its roots in the American southeast and west. Its stories tell tales of lonely cowboys, lost cattle, love gone wrong, and hard-drinking at the local saloon.
The Petersens music is a bit of two styles, but predominantly country, the use of dobro, for example is not used in the real folk music where the instruments were more rudimentary. When they sing, "Country Road", is typically Country Music.
Some songs as “City of New Orleans” are both folkmusic (railroad song) and country music.

I disagree; I say they *are* stars!
@@RogerBarraud Of course there are stronger characters than others, the Mama, Ellen, Kattie and in instrumental Emmett. But they fairly share the presence with the others, it is in this way that I appreciate the balance of the group.
What a wonderful family , such beautiful voices.
Listening to this lovely concert in Nov 2022. Thank you so much!❤❤❤
The way to win people’s hearts is to make them smile, to entertain them causing happiness to flood their soul. That my friends, you have easily accomplished. May you feel joy in knowing that you’re making a big difference
in the world!

Julianne Petersen your voice is magical... From Russia! Saint-P
Привет, земляк)
There are many good people in USA.
Many good people in Russia. Good people in world need to unite, we outnumber the evil people.
Tell me Emmett didn't tear it up extra special in No Roots. Awesome!
Forum and Brim Surely did. I loved this whole concert. Everything about it.
No kidding - he's amazing!
Forum and Brim the boy is good!
Look at the blessing of a God-ordered, God honoring family. Praise God praise God. OK I’m gonna stop commenting now but I am just so thankful for this on so many levels.
"Almost" is a heartfelt piece of the human experience. Simply awesome!!!
Loving it too! But it's real title is "California", friend.
Can tell they love what they do. They don’t stop smiling especially Katie just smiles the whole time. Living right. Awesome show
Robert Burris Yes yes yes. And I love her (Katie) smile. All of them have very beautiful smiles actually. But Katie’s- It’s so full of joy and just contentment.
"Bravo et Merci" from France 🇨🇵 !
A huge thank-you to the Petersens family for introducing us to this beautiful face of the USA: a united family of beautiful people who make great music together!
For this, God bless them, and God bless America !
Word. Blessings from germany !
@FOUR-FIFTY-FOUR CASULL we don't fear god, we love him ;) but blessings back anyway!
Merci pour tout
Je n’arrive plus à écouter autre chose en ce moment 😊
Moi c est identique je suis ébloui..... On vous attend avec impatience en France.... vous nous faites aimer l Amérique malgré.....!!
Wherever you are is gorgeous! If that’s your living room you are very blessed indeed!
Unfortunately it's not. They're not THAT famous... YET!😂😉 But they're blessed anyway. It's a beautiful private resort in Branson called 'Rock Canyon' formerly owned by Bill Medley of The Righteous Brothers.
I love the way Katie and Ellen look so proudly and smile at Julianne while she's singing. Amazing performance. Love your music!
Fun Fact: Katie is eleven years & Ellen 9 years senior to Julianne, born in 2001 !
I'll just say it. This version of "No Roots" beats the pants off the original. I went to look up the original, and it didn't have half the energy you guys put into this. What an awesome groove you put into this. Mama set it up with the awesome bass intro, Julianne killed it on the vocals, Matt's solid driving rhythmic backbone was perfect, Ellen and Katie's backing vocals were UNREAL, and dang it, if there is a better dobro player on earth than Emmett, I haven't heard him. His solo was a scortcher. You guys made this your own in all the best ways possible.
Emmett is world class for sure, but dont forget about Jerry Douglas :)
...youtube fed this to me 2 hrs ago. since then ive been watching you.cried laughed cried some more. you really are special , not to mention absolutely beautiful!!!! Angels
Wow, this family makes me so proud to be a Missourian. Yes, I also found tears slowing rolling down my cheeks and I’m not sure why. Maybe it’s the holly spirit filling my heart with pure joy and great music. Bravo Petersens! 👏🇺🇸❤️
„Gentle on my mind“ - my absolute favourite, wonderful performed by the youngest sister. Greetings from Cologne/ Germany 🇩🇪, and thank you for this great concert!
California is a first class wonderful song well written and perfectly performed. It brought a tear Thanks
Thank you for giving people all over the world the chance to see a live performance. You are really impressive!
I second everybody's comments!! So professional , talented , classy and, its a pleasure to hear and watch.
Ever feel the spirit of love just fill your soul. These folks are the real deal. You must go see them in person, you will walk out of the theater feeling blessed.
First I ever saw them it was so clear that they have a relationship with God. Praise Him! Thanks Petersens for your service and dedication.
What a beautiful, loving, funny family with an irritatingly exceptional amount of seemingly effortless talent.
Parabéns! Beijos, Daniel Pearl Bezerra - Fortaleza - Ceará - Brazil.
After reading a lot of the comments, there is nothing more that I can ADD. GOD BLESS THIS WONDERFUL WHOLESOME FAMILY.
The best therapy for us during lockdown, 24 minutes of the Petersens
Katie, that guy who you sang about in "California" was crazy to give you up! You are a treasure!!
LOVED that first song. Played guitar until a hand injury. Always fascinated with standup bass. Thank you, Mama.
The guy on the steel guitar is amazing! could listen to him play all day!
Agree. The licks he throws in there really add so much to the songs. I have enjoyed every song that I have heard this family play.
It's called a dobro or resonator guitar. Just a piece of information in case you are interested :)
@@kriskelvin5775 I researched it after writing that comment. They are pretty cool guitars!
They certainly have something unique going that is very endearing.
Beulah Land will give you chills!! Amazing harmony! So glad I happened across this video
As do ALL their Gospel renditions e.g. On the Far Banks as well as Farther Along, no ?
A "like" is hardly sufficient for this amazing family. I am a broad lover of good music from bluegrass to metal and this is one of the best groups I've encountered in a long time. I'm particularly partial to Emmett's dobro playing (a difficult instrument he plays masterfully) and Julianne's singing and mandolin playing. The original song California is also beautifully written and sung. Cheers from NC.
Brent they'll be in wilson nc after the first of the year, go to website should bo on there.
@@andymoss3132 Just saw that last night!
You are most correct in saying a like is not enough .I'm now a fan of these girls and boys as they are nothing short of awesome .Best Wishes to all from Dorset ,England .
Best rendition of Beulah Land I've heard in a long time. Just beautiful!
I am a singing member of a gospel music group, "The Carriers". I also own a small sound company. I've done sound for a few bluegrass groups and The Petersons are one of the best I've heard. Live sound for acoustic instruments is not an easy thing to accomplish, due to a combination of the omni-directional microphones and feedback through stage monitor speakers. Once dialed in though, it sounds fantastic. I truly appreciate this style of music and The Petersons do it with class and a tremendous amount of talent. Soooo Good stuff here.
Step away from the Peterson's for a little while and get busy with life and then I come back... and life is in perspective again... you guys are just awesome! Impacting lives with your music:) 🥰
Really beautiful Katiés song "California" 🤩
Hello from France 🇲🇫 🙋♂️👋👍👌
The peterens groupe !
🌍🌎🌏🤸♂️🤸♂️🤸♂️🎼🎶🎵🎶
Came here to get my daily fix of Juianne's vocals, but i have to say that you guys killed those harmonies on Beulah Land. I've done lots of singing in church and even did a small stint in a A Capella group and man I sure do miss it.
Such a beautiful rendition of 'Gentle on My Mind!'
Without a doubt this is the coolest jolene version I have ever heard.
