A big part of our childhood was singing in rounds and learning harmonies using the The Lester Family cassettes, which are now available in CD and download format www.lesterfamilymusic.com
We also loved Band in a Book as it had the same song for different instruments, so we could play together:

Background: I’m a 71 year old father And grandfather. Truth: The three of you give me hope for the future in this age of “nothing is right and God is dead”. It is a joy just hearing your kindness and honesty. My wife and I are looking forward to your Christmas show and once Co-vid is gone I’d love to visit Branson, see your show and fish in beautiful Table Rock Lake. God Bless!
You are an amazingly talented all American family. Praise the Lord!
I'm a Catholic from Sri Lanka.
Over the years, I had seen a totally different side of the USA through Hollywood and mass media. You guys showed me a more beautiful and meaningful way of life rich in good values. You all set a good example to most of us living in the Eastern world who blindly follow celebrity life styles.
Keep up your quality work!
God bless you all!
Your band is a bright spot in today’s world.
I'm Brazilian and we love you here. My favorite music is Emmanuel and No Roots. God blessed your family.
WOW you guys are so grounded and level headed. Such a great answer to how your parents raised you and weren't afraid to punish you, call you out (to this day), not trying to be your friend but your parent => guiding you to be the people you can become. And Katie, such humility saying flat out Emmett is in a different league, but you guys are trying to improve and keep up. I'm blown away by "y'alls" maturity. God bless you guys and Merry Christmas !!
I just came across your TH-cam channel! Wow!Amazing! Each of you have amazing voices and are very talented! I don’t know how I had not seen your videos before. Keep up the marvelous music. God has blessed each of you with a talent. Keep Him first!
Merry Christmas...feeling blessed to listen to your show, and of course your music is needed daily for my sanity...thank you!
Merry Christmas Petersens! So glad I found talent this year.
Merry Christmas from Italy ! ... keep going with your fantastic music ... God Love You !!!
You are the most amazing family that exists, please never change ! We all love you!
Greetings from Nuremberg, Germany!
I've been following your channel for about 3 years now and it's been such a joy to see your following grow so fast, and the amount of new cool videos you have been posting!
Thank you ladies and Merry Christmas to you and The Franz family. Love you all
Great To See Julianne At Home To Enjoy The Holidays With The Rest Of The Family! As Always, Stay Safe, Stay Healthy & U All Have Fun!
Well sad face ..we missed the live ..but enjoying the recording. As always a wonderful live sharing with your fans. Thank you so much. Received our signed Christmas CD and of course it has been playing constantly ..Merry Christmas, Peace and Good will for all from DownUnder!
My girls want to grow up to be like you ladies! Keep up the good role-modeling! :) God bless & Merry Christmas!
Thanks for doing this. Absolutely love watching you sibs just talking.
You guys are so wonderful. I love it when I get to see you again. Love you!!!! Merry Christmas!!!!!
Just found you guys a few days ago and have been binge watching your videos. Now I can't wait til I can head across the state from St Charles down to Branson to see your show in person. And watching this and seeing that you all just seem like pleasant and sweet young Christian ladies endears y'all to me even more. I've worked in radio for years; programmed stations in rock and country. Its just too bad there isn't a place on the radio really for your type of music. Thank God for TH-cam... where all the good music is. Have a blessed Christmas!
Thank you guys for warming our hearts with your music. You're so good you should try your own version of Nina's Simone "Feeling good". A Merry Christmas and a Happy New year to y"all from Colombia South America. Congrats!
I like how they talk, so simple love it.
The song O COME EMMANUEL is my favorite. Merry Christmas to you all. God Bless you all.
Merry Christmas to the Petersens from Oregon! I'll turn 70 in 4 short months and I very much enjoy such beautiful music sung by such lovely young ladies.
I would like to see a documentary type video of your family on the process of preparing a song to sing. How do you decide who plays which part? What do your practice sessions look like? Basically just show us how a song is born from start to finish.
This!!!
Yes!!!
Merry Christmas from Michigan! Our family just found you guys. Your family's musical talent amazes us!
Just in case it's of interest, The Petersens are playing in Manistee, MI on April 14th :) ci.ovationtix.com/36372/performance/11204997
Fun seeing post OG's having fun and taking questions from fans. Have a good weekend :)
Merry Christmas to the Petersens
You guys are fun. Thanks for posting. I can’t wait to see you live when the coast is clear. Be Well!
I'm in the middle of a non-stop Peterson Stream concert... I can't do the Patron thing, but I can play, like & watch those ad's. I also agree 101% with Aarons kids on my equally favorite Christmas music! My wife gives me crap for still playing the Christmas Album in February!
Enjoy your music and talents. Keep submitting your work. Happy Holidays
What a treat in the days before Christmas! It's like having a chat with distant family members. You all are adorable. Always keep the spirit up and enjoy every moment in your lives, even when they seem not enjoyable at the very moment. I wish all of you, including Emmet and all your extended families and friends a warm, lovely and peaceful Christmas season.
THank you for brightening the morning with your music.
Greetings from Spain and Merry Christmas
You guys really deserve a good soundman when you are at bigger venues. One who knows your songs, set list and solo placement in each song. I love your traditional 1 mic approach. Your sound is flawless in that approach. Love you guys.
I seen them in Branson and love how they sound at that show. And I love doing sound and would love to do it as a way to make a living also with having an recording studio too. It would be wonderful to go full time with a band like the Petersens.
Merry Christmas to you all. Lift our spirits again in 2021 please.
I’m SOOOOO sad I always miss your little chat events gang because here in California they air in the middle of my work day 😞. Happy Holidays sweet Petersens, I plan to watch your concert on Sunday! I LOVE my Christmas card ya’ll, THANK YOU!! Love you much! Be joyful & HAPPY! 🙏🏻🌺♥️👍
Merry Christmas to you all. I look forward to lots of amazing music in the new year.
I love to watch people make music and you all give me such joy doing that very thing. My hope is to one day be able to visit Branson and see a live show.
I love your Christmas album. The last track All Glory Be to Christ is my favorite!
Julianne has the most adorable smile.
Best Regards from Poland!!! I love Julianne!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I purchased the autographed CD. I will cherish it always. I watch all your videos and enjoy your music very much. Please keep making music.
I truly enjoy all of your music! Rejoice and Have a Wonderful Christmas and a Happy New year!!
Regards, Chuck Hamilton. Katy, Texas.
Greetings from Colombia guys. Excellent musicians and wonderful people. nice family. Congratulations...
I really love your music. It's a nice natural tone of acoustic instruments and I think I'm the biggest fan of your christian music. As a fellow violinist/fiddlist, I love the way that the strings are included. Keep on playing!
Hello from St. Charles,MO!! Love your band!! I found you all during COVID!
Me too
Love your music. Stay humble just as you are
Happy Birthday Katie! Welcome to the Thritysomething club.
Big fan of you from Brazil :) Merry Christmas!
I wish the Petersens times of grace and blessings. I like how you sing oh come, oh come Emmanuel.
You young ladies are awesomeness. Keep up the wonderful work
Chesterton is awesome. You're great, Julianne.
Matt is always the prankster it seems... Love you all God bless you and stay safe...
Thank you for the recommendation. I added G.K. Chesterton to my "to-read" list on Good Reads.
so much talent right here ~!
Merry Christmas! You 3 are beautiful, have gorgeous voices and are a joy to listen to.
Love you guys !!!!!! Your all so extremely talented and play/sing so beautifully. God bless you all❤️🙂
Excellent as usual mum Karen must be so proud of you all xx
Hi everyone 🤗
You are an amazing family , and I enjoy all your music 😉 But as a coffee drinker, I start my day with two pots and D/D the rest of the day !
😂 Happy Holidays and best wishes 😍
I'm very much of a rock guy but you are my new favourite band! Greetings all the way from snowy Sweden. Thomas. ; )
Sweden is waiting for the time for your safe tripp over. I belive we live all thru this year and a Happy - year is coming soon. And we all go to Grenna Oldtime and Bluegrass Festival in August (third saturday).
Best wish to you from Ove.
yeah music is just music not matter how rock you can be , they are so amazing
Happy holidays for all of your family members from ECUADOR!!!
Hi! I'm a big fan of you!Cheers from Brazil!
Greetings and thanks for your music from Czech Republic :)
Thank you so much for your wonderful song!
Julianne, I saw that.....almost poured your coffee into the milk jug! LOL at your reaction 🤣
THANK YOU ALL for eveverything you do for US the viewers! Bringing JOY and LOVE with each beautiful video and chat y'all make!!!
Do you ever plan to come to Central Florida?? You would be a HUGE hit down here! Figured I would ask....
We love the movie “Elf”. Soooo funny.
First, let me say that I LOVE your group...which is a surprise to me! I have enjoyed a bit of your selections. So glad I discovered you all!
I must say, however, that I prefer "Bluegrass" to "Country"...since I grew up with "country" resounding on the radio (Radio WWVA 50KW - The "friendly voice from out of the hills in Wheeling, W.Va! - was the mantra way back when). But, I got tired of "country" after a very short while. Living in a valley between two high hills, one couldn't receive many AM stations "way back when"...so we got a LOT of "country". I just turned off the radio...grins.
I do prefer Choral music, and occasionally your group...depending upon whatever the selection happens to be (e.g. "John Denver's "Take me Home, Country Roads"). I'm one not much for "plain old Hymns" even though I grew up singing them...I so prefer Bach Cantatas...and Handel, Frescobaldi, Gabrielli, Albinoni. and a few other composers of the baroque period...sorry...just my own heritage and experience speaking...
And YES, I have played several instruments over the years...Piano, Pipe Organ, Git-box (grins), clarinet, trumpet...but my own instrument of choice is the human choral voice...I have sung in Concert Choirs - now years past...sighs...and miss it so much!
I'm exited for the video with your dad playing the piano.
hello from california - great to see you live!
really enjoy your music
Dashing through the snow.... Merry Christmas from Sacramento.
Hi from UK! Just discovered the Peterson band and been watching your TH-cam concerts. Can’t tell you how much joy it brings to see a family playing music together. Love your Mum on the bass, and Emmett on the horizontal guitar thing. What a great addition. Is the other handsome guy your brother?! The bluegrass style so catchy. We don’t have anything like this in the UK. You make the USA cool.
Yes, their brother Matt :) www.petersenband.com/bandbios/
oh man I'm late.. glad to hear you and see you :) pretty cool you are taking the time to chat with people. Thanks for those great videos you're amazing.
Love to come and see you live in your home town. X
Your Mom & Dad must be very proud of their 3 beautiful and talented women!
And not their son I guess. Is he not pretty enough?
Fantastic group!
Glad to hear that Julianne is reading G.K. Chesteton. I first read Orthodoxy three decades ago, when I was around her age. It is important for young people to be able to make an intellectual defense of their faith, given the increasingly explicit anti-Christian tone of so much in our national culture, especially in the schools. Thank you to all the Petersens for the light they have brought into these dark times. So glad I found your music!
You girls are awesome!! I love y'all
Yeah Brazilians love you guys!!
Just watched your chat loved it y’all are so real. From what I have seen and heard y’all don’t do anything medeoker.
Hey Petersens! Happy Happy, Merry Merry!
Merry Christmas young ladies! Gotta agree with you about coffee, don’t know what I’d do without mine. I love the Waffle House as well. We don’t have them in Mi, but when I visit my sister in Georgia it’s the 1st place we go. I’d like to thank your family for their military service, as my dad was a veteran as well. And I think it’s wonderful that you have a great adult relationship with your folks. Love your music and I can’t wait for your latest endeavor. May God bless you and shine upon your family as we enter 2021
I just have to say I found you guys by accident on TH-cam! I also am on TH-cam and I am a professional musician! I have been playing for more than 60 years now! And I play in five different supper clubs in northern Wisconsin , and over 120 assisted living centers, and many other functions! But what I’m here to say is ,it is such a joy to see all of you your whole family and how all of you praise the Lord. and the smiles from all of you as you’re working On playing your music! You are definitely very gifted and that came from God! And because what I do I know it always feels good to give back! I have subscribed I could never wait to hear the next song you do and then Santa train, I cannot get that song out of my head !it is fantastic! Thank you for sharing! I had to edit this as I use my microphone and everything changed when I hit the button. So sorry!
God bless the Petersens. Love your positivity, keep it up!
Thank all of you so much for bringing some joy back into my life with your incredible talent and music, as well as being so down to earth.

No he podido ver por completo la emisión. Es la primera vez, que las veo. Pues me parecen, muy naturales, como la vida misma, son muy jóvenes y guapísimas. Que bueno,, soy muy amante de la buena música, pero jamás me creí fans de nadie. Pero estoy muy contanto, complacido, de ver y ser uno más, de los que siguen, y escuchan su música. No cambiéis jamás, besos y abrazos para todas. Gracias, desde España.
