The Peterson Brothers
The Peterson Brothers, hailing from the vibrant musical hub of 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 bassist, on bass, vocals, and even the violin.

affair with classic music.

Fire, The Brothers Johnson, and B.B. King, the Peterson Brothers honed their craft by
absorbing the nuances of these legends. Drawing inspiration from their musical roots, they
crafted a unique stage show that showcases their infectious energy and undeniable musical
prowess.
Their impressive resume includes sharing 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, Los Lonely Boys, Scarface, Taj Mahal,
and Lisa Marie Presley among others. The Peterson Brothers' live performances are nothing
short of a celebration, radiating sheer joy through constant eye contact, electric smiles, and an
infectious ebullience. Onstage, their synchronized movements, from stepping and twisting to
swaying in harmony, create a mesmerizing experience that captivates audiences.
