About the Family

Join Jon and Karen and their four lovely children, Ellen, Katie, Julianne, and Matthew, for a performance that will wow and inspire you.  Even as they work together to give you outstanding performances, they still manage to provide audiences with a look into each of their own unique styles, showing you family entertainment at its best.  Enjoy the combination of Katie's fiddle, Ellen's one-of-a-kind banjo, Matthew's and Jon's rhythm guitars and basses, Julianne's fantastic vocals and fiddle, and their mother Karen's mandolin for a complete bluegrass sound.  Ellen was even a contestant on Season 14 of American Idol, where Harry Connick Jr. applauded her subtlety and proclaimed that she made him proud to be an American. In 2007, after their father retired from the United States Air Force, the family moved to Branson where they appreciate Branson for its love of God, country, and acoustic music. They've been entertaining here ever since!

 

This all-American family delivers the entertaining and enthralling bluegrass performance that audiences love.  Let the Petersen Family Bluegrass Band take you on a musical journey, complete with traditional bluegrass and gospel music and a fun-loving, musically-talented family show.
