The Peterson Brothers

McGonigel’s Mucky Duck presents The Peterson Brothers.

Classic blues sounds of legends with their own unique blend of soul-infused inspiration.

The Peterson Brothers were born and raised deep in the “Lost Pines” of Bastrop, Texas. Alex, 14, on bass and violin and vocals; and Glenn Jr., 16 guitar and lead vocals are two brothers, two hearts and one sound. Their music combines the classic blues sounds of legends with their own unique blend of soul-infused inspiration.

In just a few short years they have had the opportunity to open for B.B. King; and play with Buddy Guy, Michael Burks, and Pinetop Perkins. Voted as one of the top 10 bands in the Austin Music Awards in 2010-2011 in the blues, soul and funk category; the boys gained the attention of the legendary Bootsy Collins who has become one of their mentors.

The band is currently in the studio working on their debut album with Michael Freeman, who produced the Grammy Award Winning “Joined at the Hip” by Pinetop Perkins and Willie “Big Eyes” Smith.

Although much of their time is spent honing in on their musical gifts, they put precedence on volunteering and ensuring that their academics are a top priority. The Peterson Brothers are on a mission to help “Keep the Blues Alive”.
