Reminds me of a local bluegrass group. My friends mom is on the upright bass.

[@compenseitor]

In a live chat that you did a few days ago, I wrote "regrets from Chile", because my command of the English language is very fragile and I wanted to write "greetings from Chile". My name is Diego, I'm from a small city in the south of Chile, Valdivia, and you are on all my playlists. A hug from distance

[@PetersenVlogs]

"Regrets from Chile" is poetic, honestly. I think you are in the beginning of writing a great song. Thank you for listening to us! Lamentaciones y saludos desde United States ;)

I love seeing these young people really loving their singing and you can tell they feel their music.Nowadays,most singers just put their music out with no feeling and no enjoyment.When you “feel” the music in your soul a singer is giving out such a blessing to their listeners.I really enjoy hearing their music.And this group is exceptionally good at feeling their music.

Amazing. The traditional north America culture is so beautiful... I live in NYC and I miss so much this kind of thing.

[@ThePetersens]

Wow! Thank you so much for all the love you have shown our family in this video! Just to answer some of the most common questions... We are all a family except for our dear friend, Emmett Franz, on the dobro. And yes, he is amazing. The sound was recorded in our living room that morning through a Behringer X32 Rack with the recording expansion. We used a single microphone for a prop in the video for a focal point. We are very new to filming videos and this seemed like the best option at the time. We recorded No Roots live with a single microphone and you can hear the difference. Love all the song requests! Keep 'em coming! As much as we would LOVE to travel more, we perform full-time in Branson, MO. We do have select tour dates which can be found on our website: www.petersenband.com.

[@AdamSIV]

Absolutely incredible

[@phillholbrook9515]

Both songs (this and No Roots) are fantastic covers. I love the variety. Recording this through the Behringer rack but keeping the prop mic was a very good idea. You can absolutely hear the difference. If I ever find myself in Branson I'll be sure to make it a point to see y'all.
