The Peterson Brothers are an American soul, funk, blues and jazz band featuring brothers Glenn Peterson, Jr. on vocals and lead guitar and Alex Peterson on bass.
The Austin Chronicle writes that: "Bastrop upstarts the Peterson Brothers have been tearing up the stage at the Continental Club since they were both teens." The brothers played their first gig with blues legend Pinetop Perkins 10 years ago.
The Peterson Brothers have been described by Jamfeed as “Some of the most talented musicians I have seen come out of Austin." American Blues Scene writes: "they’ve become one of the most popular festival fixtures in the US, in just 10 years." Their festival gigs have included Austin City Limits, Chicago Blues Fest, Minneapolis State Fair and Old Settler's Music Fest. In September, 2019 they performed at Crossroads Village at Eric Clapton's Crossroads Guitar Festival in Dallas.
The Minneapolis Star Tribune described a Peterson Brothers festival set "like a NASCAR race" with a "crescendoing jam through the Dramatics’ What You See Is What You Get or the version of Al Green’s Take Me to the River that sounded like it originated on Stevie Wonder’s Innervisions — all with Glenn soloing on guitar with the same flashy but fulfilling approach as their recent tourmate Gary Clark Jr."
