The Petersen Family Bluegrass Band features the sensational family that helped put bluegrass music on the Branson map! The entire family possesses an amazing level of talent; mom and her three daughters are joined by the only boy in the family, along with a talented family friend, and together they give audiences a healthy dose of bluegrass favorites and original songs.  Each family member is skilled at pickin’ a number of instruments, including the banjo, mandolin, bass and rhythm guitars and, of course, the good ole’ fiddle.  However, it was Ellen’s talent in particular that caught the attention of American Idol during the 2015 season.  Her beautiful voice and banjo pickin’ earned her a golden ticket to Hollywood, and she took along two of her siblings to keep her practice sessions all in the family!  Considering the thousands who vied for a shot at stardom, Ellen’s top 48 finish was an incredible accomplishment.

Some of the artists covered by the Petersen Family Bluegrass Band include Bill Monroe, Doyle Lawson, Alison Krauss, and Branson favorite, Rhonda Vincent.  In addition to the bluegrass music they love to play, they’ll treat you to fiddle tunes, gospel music a cappella style, and a bit of yodeling for good measure!

"Great Show"

Rating of 5 stars  Reviewed December 29, 2021
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.

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!

"Best thing we did in Branson"

Rating of 5 stars  Reviewed May 29, 2018
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

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

"Fun, uplifting show"

Rating of 5 stars  Reviewed October 20, 2016
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.
