I was retired but am now working part-time driving elderly medical transport, I love sharing you as I transport people. Most of these clients had never heard of you, but they ALL love and appreciate your music. I’ve got an iPad Pro, and just leave it on “The Petersen” SHUFFLE ! God bless you, your music is great medicine ! SALUTE !

God bless the Petersen band....you folks are a National treasure

Thank You all for being so personable and sharing your gift with us. God Bless Your Family and You! ❤️✝️🙏

I know that when you're in a band nothing beats performing in front of a live audience, but please keep doing the KZread video's as much as possible. You've got something really special going on, bringing joy and comfort to so many people around the world. And many of your patrons got to know you through KZread as well. I'm one of them.

After 2 years of watching you all on KZread I finally got to go to Branson to see you. My wife got us tickets for our 48th Anniversary. It was the best present I ever got. I was like a kid in a candy store. Thank you Petersens for making my anniversary so very special.

You all are so real and humble, God Bless You!

I absolutely love you... being a mother of five grown adults you remind me of my own wholesome country young adults... That’s one of the reasons I follow you.. may God richly bless your family !!! 💕

You guys will forever make me smile! I enjoy every video of yours, no matter what song it is. You are great people, and I hope to meet y'all someday when I come back to America on furlough. Blessings from Romania!

Ellen, I’m happy for you that you didn’t go to Nashville. You are great at what you do, working with people you love, for people who appreciate you. How can you improve on that?

Love you guys! Gotta listen to at least one of your songs everyday!

Just watching you , gets me happy. Thank you for the music, and greetings from Finland.

Hey guys , just wanted to say thank you for all the great videos , and amazing music !!

I love you guys, I'm so glad to follow you and your wonderful music and family.

What a wonderful statement about staying in the SPIRIT of worship while playing. I LOVE you all in Christ.

You guys are so loved. I see Russia, China, Latin America, Vietnam, India, Turkey, New Guinea, Poland and more. Really up lifting music.

How good that God reunites in a family a team of talented musicians with other talents, especially their joy and unity. God bless your projects.

Glad to see all of you.

I’ve said this before but you are the group I’ve been looking for my whole life. You are all so beautiful. Keep it up!

We love your music!!!Greatings from Germany and all the best for you all!👍👍👍

Thanks for your music, simpaty, and new versions and original new songs. I love Katie, Ellen, Matt, Julianne. Thank you so much, friends. 😊😍😀💖Mallorca, Spain.

You folks are awesome! I love your music. God bless you always.

Happy birthday Momma! My vote for the next one is an upbeat with Julianne singing!

I only caught the "Act II" but it was nice hearing about your Orlando trip and your upcoming plans. Get plenty of rest and take care of yourselves! Y'all are busy! Thanks for restarting your live stream. Be blessed!

So excited - we have tickets for a show in June! First time live, awesome!

You are great people and great musicians. Greetings from Slovakia Cent. Europe

I have really enjoyed following you guys from Barbados for the last few months. Keep it going!

We look forward to your videos and can’t wait to see you in Branson!

Love you guys!!!!! More than your music....you all seem like the coolest nicest people!

Just discovered you guys. LOVE the sound! Two of my favorite songs from a favorite singer that you guys would make sound amazing. The Leader of the Band and Same Auld Lang Syne, both by Dan Fogelberg. Dan died in 2007 from a relaps of prostate cancer. Therewas an amazing concert done in hi honor at the Red Rocks Ampitheater in Colrado. I'm sure you guys have heard them but if not, give them a listen. The Leader of the Band always reminded me of my father and it hit home in January when I lost him. Same Auld Lang Syne was my ex, which later in life after we both remarried, came across each other. After sitting with coffee and chatting for a bit, we both confessed to each other we have never loved again and will always have that regret that we didn't push a little harder. It truly is the love that was lost. Music can really mean so much right? God bless you all and keep your talent out there.

We are headed to Branson and will see your Tuesday show. Very excited!

You are such a great family love it. Ellen appreciate your brother he always has your back ❤

love your music have enjoyed all your songs- look forward to all in future.

I agree with the Canadian who said you should cover some Gordon Lightfoot tunes. "Rainy Day People" is one of my favorites, and inspirational at any time, but especially in this COVID era.

Katie, try Early Wonder tomatoes. They are a smaller regular tomato (2.5"-3" diameter), that start blooming early, but have an awesome flavor . . thus, the "Wonder" part of their name, (usually early poppers don't bowl you over with great flavor, but these do). The plants stay bushy and don't grow very high, just about a max of 4 ft. I even grew them in a tiny, postage stamp garden where I live, (10 minutes outside of Pittsburgh), until the surrounding trees grew too tall and I didn't have adequate sun anymore. The best of all, however, is that they're heirloom tomatoes, so you can harvest the seeds every year and they'll always taste top notch. 👌

Yayyyy you're all back

Wishing every one great times in the travels to CA and CO and great times on the stage....

Crushing on Katie.....amazing energy and glowing smile

pleasure to hear and see u

Bonjour de Paris ! Your smiles and songs are real sunbeams. A concert in France one day ? God bless your family. ❤️

Can't wait to see you all in Maryland 👍😁

Here I was trying to figure how to get to Branson and you’re coming to my neighborhood in Sonora ... have bookmarked June 11 & 12 to have some “Fun In the Sun” with the Petersens ... what a blessing.

Very nice You sing and make the music I feel your god energy and see your clear hearts , congratulation and Got Bless You .Marek from Poland Warszawa

Gentle on my mind, awesome song, one of my favorite

Real people! Truly refreshing.

I just listened to your new single "Falling for you". It's very good. In perfect Petersen style. Congrats from Italy!

Enjoy your music very much. Your the best. Thank you.

Congratulations to you! Your voices and your talents are very important to us in this hard times...! God bless you! Excuse me my bad English... Florianópolis, Brazil!

Estoy sorprendido cada día conozco más sobre USA por ustedes. De primera mano. Gracias chicos, los aprecio mucho por permitir conocer a más latinos su cultura y raices.

Matt is the dream guy 😅 and this family so so cute! God bless you guys!

I missed it. Noooooooooooooo Lovely to see your smiling faces. X

Hello from Greece, love your music!

Thank you for your music! We own a bakery and I work crazy odd hours. I'm usually alone and blast your music while I work. It should make you feel good that your music is the backdrop to thousands of cookies and sweets being made with love. Sugar and great music is an awesome combination! I have 6 kids and pray they'll catch the music bug like y'all did. We've got a banjo player and 3 fiddlers so far.

Missed the live broadcast, but still watched it afterwards.

All my hilarious comments from the first chat are gone forever.😢 But I will see you guys at Lake Mead! And, did not know til now about you coming to Sonora! I'll come listen to y'all there also, if I can. Love to the Petersens and their fans.

What you do together, is I believe, is the best use of life---you're beloved...God bless you and keep you as beautiful...

Can't wait to see you guys at the Bass Pro Shops at Arundel Mills Mall in Hanover, MD!! Arundel Mills is a huge regional mall and there are plenty of places to eat, but..... If you have the time, don't miss the Timbuktu Restaurant about a mile west of the mall for some great Maryland Seafood.

Your are such a beautiful family. God bless you.

Greetings from Italy! You’re the best!

I drive out to see you guys in Branson on 4/6. Great show. I was on the way back to NYC and was in New Bern, NC the day you guys did Wilson. Was so tempted to detour to Wilson.

No way! That fan’s concern/question did not, would never, apply to Katie! She’s the most humble, sweetest, kindest, most accommodating person I’ve ever met! I had the absolute pleasure to speak with her after a performance and all I felt from her was a kindness, sharp intelligence and friendliness that only a true live-by-example Christian could offer to anyone. She made me feel important, that I counted and that she was a friend I’ve known for a long time, even though, I just met her for the first time! I absolutely love her dearly.

i so love you guys !!!

Nice to see sane people in a world that seems to be going nuts!

Your lovely renditions, sometimes produce tears. Do not let that, stop you.

Great this young band!!

You guys rock!

Julianne you need to rescue your (old) siblings from the computer! 😆

That’s some impressive greenery Katie!

Love you guys. Thanks so much for your music and your faith in these crazy times. Would really like to hear you do a Petersen version of song called "The Gospel Plow". Very Bluegrass spiritual song. Perhaps you already do this but I am not aware. God's blessings on you all....

It’s ok!! Don’t be sad!!

Hi from Manchester, England! Any plans to come to the UK once Covid subsides? I’d love to see you all play live.

I am surprised every day I know more about the USA from you. First hand. Thank you guys, I appreciate you very much for allowing more Latinos to know their culture and roots.
