Matt Petersen: A Bluegrass treasure

Matt Petersen, the guitarist for the Petersens, spends much of his time as a strong supporting instrumentalist and vocalist, who is particularly adept at fine harmonies with his sisters.

Matt rarely misses a note and is usually the one who corrects the others if they happen to begin in the wrong key (which doesn't happen very often).

Aside from being highly photogenic, Matt has a really smooth, fine voice. In a comment on a video of his (the first below), his sister Katie says, "This is so beautiful, Matty." We agree. It's a superb rendition of a Haggard number.

(Tho the band does traditional Bluegrass superbly, it also does plenty of "Bluegrass fusion," which includes grassed-up rock, country and pop.)

Below are videos featuring Matt.
