A touch of the Great Beyond

Gospel is a recurring Bluegrass theme

Katie Petersen pays heartfelt vocal tribute to her Master in the Petersens version of How Great Thou Art. As always, Katie does wonders with her voice.

Bandmates Matt Petersen on guitar, Julianne Petersen on mandolin, Karen Petersen on bass fiddle and Emmett Franz on dobro are superb in their supporting roles, as is to be expected from this highly accomplished group.

New mother Ellen Petersen was caring for her newborn girl Allison Jules when the video was shot during the summer. She’s back in action now, having brought both daughters on the band’s Eurotour last month.

Below are more recent and not-so-recent Bluegrass gospel videos from other excellent groups.

Here is Ellen in a video just released but made months back. The performance was a special coordinated with her husband Mike’s drone entertainment company.
