    I've watched this at least 10 times now and it never gets old! Great talent that needs to be recognized! They play with such joy that it truly shows they all enjoy what they are doing, especially the way they look at each other with such adoration. I don't know anything about playing the dobro but I would venture that Emmet is world class in my book.

    After seeing this show a few times…. I can say that it is simply fantastic! Everything from start to finish! However, I wanted to point out a particular moment that has impressed me every time I saw and listened to it. And it is when Emmet has just finished singing "I Heard the Bells" (beautiful and poignant song!) and, immediately after the well-deserved applause of the audience, in the perfect silence of the hall, the instruments are silent and Julianne begins to sing, in perfect chord of B minor, "O Come, O Come Emmanuel". Then the harmonies of Katie and Ellen enter and, after that, all the instruments to complete this masterpiece of rare beauty. These are minutes of pure magic, the authentic magic of Christmas. 🎄

    OK, the concert is really great -- but I want to call some attention and give some praise to the crew taking care of the details. Audio is impressive for a live recording, and the lighting and video work is really spectacular! (Sounds like Randy Franz is at least part of that team!) Lighting is well done throughout, and the camera got great angles and _really_ crisp, clear shots even with the close-ups. It honestly looks almost 4K, which is especially surprising after going through youtube's compression. *VERY* nicely done!
    Petersen family, you of course look and sound wonderful! I really need to make the trip to see your concerts firsthand, hopefully including a Christmas concert. Thank you for sharing your amazing talent and skill with the world!

    I remember being there live, and the energy that fills the room is one that no man can create on his own. God is with you, and his hand is in your lives and your work. Not only is your music appealing, but your hearts are beautiful and sing for the Lord, and it shows! God bless you!

    From a Kansas-born Kamaaina living in Hawaii for the past 35 years, and raised on all kinds of Western music, including Bluegrass, Matt did a better job on Mele Kalikimaka than I have heard some Hawaiian singers do, and they wrote the song! Truth be told, each member of The Petersens brings 110% to the musical table of excellence. Your vocal harmonies are spot-on for every song I've heard you do. Your layering and overall balance is second to none. Your stage presence and facials are so appropriate. Emmett's palm-tree slide-up in the song ending sounded better than I've heard some Hawaiian bands do. Our musical "experience" is simply awesome whenever you are on stage!
    I play bass, guitar and trombone but have been inspired by The Petersens to learn violin and mandolin. Katie is an awesome fiddler! Juliann's falsetto is so killer that I'm almost certain it's because of those dimples! Her shyness is the best part of her solos...she's having more fun than we know! (as are ALL of you!)
    If I have failed to mention any of the members, let me just say that ALL of your vocals are top-notch and unique in so many good ways! I intentionally left out two ladies' names just for variety, but they are such important additions to the band. One of them even has a BEAUTIFUL voice, but then again, all of your voices are super pleasant to listen to. I kinda wish I could hear the upright a little better cuz I know it's top-notch playing.
    Your instruments are each so well played and perfectly blended. Most importantly, you all have huge hearts full of love. I pray that your family always remains close.
    God bless each of you richly, and one day I hope to be able to worship our Savior, Jesus Christ, together! Keep looking up, and thank you for all the smiles and joy you have brought through your musical talents that God has given you! I could say ten times as much for each song you play, but there are only so many hours in a day!

    Having seen the Petersens in concert in November and seeing their Christmas concert for this past season, I would have to say that they are every bit as good, and engaging, and fun to watch in person! Even in a venue, where it didn't seem like they could pull off this kind of sound, they did it! Magic!!

    This is the BEST harmonizing that I’ve ever heard! These amazing kids/band are right up there with the best of the best! They’re not elbow to elbow, with, for example, the Nitty Gritty Band, not because they don’t have the talent or ability to be up there with the rich and famous, but because they’ve chosen a different path in life and music, a path of humbleness, love of what’s important in life, true human and spiritual values, and for the glorifying of God. I think that’s why I’m so incredibly drawn to them; for their talent, their love for family, their wittiness, intelligence, educational achievements, for the ability to get along so well with each other, which I know by experience it’s extremely difficult being true friends with your siblings! Moments brought tears of joy and sadness to my eyes. Thank you immensely for being out there “curing” people’s souls and lives!
