Brothers
The Peterson Brothers, hailing from Austin, Texas, have been enchanting audiences with their very own blend of Americana music consisting of classic Soul, Funk, Blues, and Jazz for over a decade. The dynamic duo consists of Glenn Jr. on vocals and guitar, and Alex, a GRAMMY® award-winning artist, on bass, vocals, and violin.
Their musical journey began when their mother and grandmother bestowed upon them a treasure trove of assorted albums and a turntable from a garage sale, sparking a lifelong love affair with classic music.
Their stage show contains their infectious energy and undeniable musical prowess. Throughout their careers, they have shared the stage with legendary artists like Gary Clark Jr., The Roots, Kenny Wayne Shepherd, Jesse Johnson (The Time), Willie Nelson, B.B. King, New Power Generation (Prince’s longtime band), Buddy Guy, and Los Lonely Boys, among others.
The Peterson Brothers captivate audiences with their infectious spirit and a musical prowess that pays homage to the timeless sounds that inspired their journey.
