Southern Nights (ft. Elle and Toni) - The Petersens (LIVE)

The bluegrass world has introduced us to so many friends over the years, and it's neat to watch the same thing begin with KZbin as we got to film a couple songs with ‪@elleandtoni‬ (formerly known as Reina del Cid), including "Southern Nights." Check out the link below for the other video!
Also, a big thanks to everyone who showed up in Oklahoma City and Grapevine, Texas (and of course Branson)! It has been a crazy weekend, but songs like these make everything better.

►LYRICS - Southern Nights
Southern nights
Have you ever felt a southern night
Free as a breeze
And not to mention the trees
Whistling tunes that you know and love so
Southern nights
Just as good even when close your eyes
I apologize to anyone who can truly say
He has found a better way
Southern skies
Have you ever felt a southern skies
Its precious beauty lies just beyond the eye
It goes running through your soul
Like the stories told of old
Old man
He and his dog they walked the old land
Every flower touched his cold hand
As he slowly walked by
Weeping willows would cry for joy
Feels so good
Feels so good it's frightening
Wish I could
Stop this world from fighting
La-da-da daa-da…
Mysteries
Like this and many others in the trees
Blow in the night
In those southern skies
Southern nights
Feels so good it's frightening
Wish I could
Stop this world from fighting
La-da-da daa-da…

[@elleandtoni]

Such a blast making music with you all. Thanks so much for jamming with us! ❤️

[@byates59]

I've been following "subscribed" to both you and the Petersens for a long time now and it is so cool to see you guys jamming together! Thanks!

[@JerryGDawg56]

I’ll be sure to check out your channel! ❤️

[@FrancoDeAlva]

That was totally awesome, I follow both of your channels and when this popped up I knew it was going to be good. Sunday complete!!

[@Vikezupa]

Been a subscriber of both channels for a while. This was a real treat! Thank y’all for doing this! Loved it!

[@peaubrun6909]

Génial !! Je suis fan des Petersens et de Reina/Toni, quel plaisir de les voir réunis !! ☺️☺️☺️

[@TheSchmuel]

Julianne's voice has that perfect amount of air-i-ness mixed with that High, Lonesome sound that is so needed in bluegrass.. Its Perfect

[@timtabla1613]

Love that voice

[@dmwilson34]

Her voice!!!

[@operator0]

High and lonesome sound. That's kind of what makes Bluegrass, Bluegrass.

[@ulavile]

Julieanne's unique voice turns out more powerful and rich every day!

[@Papadoc1000]

True, but she can also harmonize on bass very well. She's got the time and talent for a great musical future if she chooses it.

[@windsurfertx1]

Go back, listen to it again and isolate the bass in your mind. It’s wonderful. Good job Mom.

[@archie6106]

oh my days Julianne is so good.

[@waynetaylor4995]

She has a unique voice.!!

[@archie6106]

[@daspiderpig45]

There is something about her voice that is just amazing!!

[@caula1815]

yeah, autotune

[@caula1815]

@William Robillard idk, it kind of sounds like autotune

[@donkeninitz4590]

What a family! They just continue to impress. I remember when Julianne was just adding harmony here and there while strumming a few chords on the mandolin. Now she's developed into a topnotch folk/(real) country singer. Ellen can hold her own with about any current banjo player out there, and has a voice that equals that of Alison Krauss, Rhonda Vincent et al. I've been playing electric and acoustic guitar for 45 years, from roots music to jazz, but have mostly concentrated in the blues/rock/folk genres (Stephen Stills was my first guitar hero just because he could do it all), but discovered bluegrass about 20 years ago, and have become a huge fan; my point being I'm familiar with all the great bluegrass and (real) country players out there (I'm not talking about what I recently heard a guy describe as "tractor rap", i.e., so-called modern country; I hate that stuff, it's so inauthentic). Poor Katie doesn't get nearly enough credit despite her undeniable skills on violin and as a singer (though she strikes me as the really brainy, deep thinker of the group; just a hunch). And while Matt mostly plays rhythm, he does it really well, like Del McCoury. That isn't easy to do in bluegrass. I find it easier to play SRV, Clapton, and Santana note-for-note lead on electric than to really keep that solid chunk-a-chunk bluegrass rhythm going, though I've learned to do it. And the dobro player could hold his own with Jerry Douglas. I think they should try writing some original songs, and maybe collaborate with someone like Molly Tuttle or Sierra Hull (who's a dedicated Christian, so she'd fit right in). Meanwhile, I'll keep downloading their music through my iTunes subscription, watching every YT video post, and posting their stuff on FB and sending it to my friends to get them on board. I barely knew Branson existed most of these years, but am now planning a trip there with my wife JUST to make sure I see these guys live.

[@davidlacroix6769]

It’s a Sunday morning double treat. This is great.

[@KirstenBayes]

Listening in stormy England, big smile on my face.

[@utubeDaveutube]

well-said! :-)

[@Takkization]

Julianne has the voice break and she makes it seem like its a cute accident when it happens... But we all know she's controlling every aspect of it. Absolutely incredible. I can't get enough of yall.

[@c.glivingstone9832]

No one can sing quite like this young woman, unique intonation and style, just brilliant.

[@SolvieCapital]

Would love to see the Petersens host artists like Reina del Cid at their theater in Branson; that would be relevant and innovative. Julianne, wow, always...wow.

[@ThePetersens]

Mark Solvie if we could we would!!!! We’ve dreamed of doing something like that for a long time, but we don’t own the theater we play in so it’s unfortunately not up to us. Maybe someday in the future! -Ellen

[@SolvieCapital]

@@ThePetersens The short and ignorant answer is to move to Music City and have your own theater on the strip; but that's a whole different onion to peel and finance. As your audience builds, you'll be out of space soon. So fantasy: KZbin acts, formal Idol, voice, AGT contestants, international artists also in a variety show that changes weekly but has some regulars as well as live digital broadcasts. Comedy, magic, music, variety with a PG13 rating. Touring artists promoting the venue and bringing their fan base in for live shows, and not having to support the entire production on one artist doing two big sets. We can all dream

[@Dankness9]

I just can’t stop listening to this version. It sounds so perfect for a great jug band style. This is in your blood when you descend from Arkansas peach farmers as I do.

[@ezfirme]

Julianne's style of singing goes very well to this song, but she is so versatile with multiple songs. Nice work!!!

[@paulbink452]

That woman on the bass really rocks.

[@robertfox7969]

Wow! It's already been said here... but yes TWO of my favorite groups playing together. Reina and Toni's voices combined with Julianne's... AND the the Petersons all in one set. It's like peanut butter & jelly... no it's... like vanilla and chocolate! PS. Your dobro player us becoming one of my favorite dobro artists. His sense of rhythm is so superb! It reminds me of the very first time i heard Jerry Douglas.

[@randall-king]

Our family has only just discovered you. This one is my particular favorite. Her voice is lovely.

[@lesb_socal]

Two groups that I am a fan of. This is a lifetime cool.

[@homemadetrips8297]

Hear that voice people? Did you hear her voice....I melt!

[@dukebeach1]

Can you imagine a world where a group like The Petersens were as popular as say, Taylor Swift? Musicianship, Grace, talent, family...and they have all their clothes on! What has happened to us? Pray hard.

[@TacticalJackalope]

Check out the Oesch family from Switzerland.

[@cdjhyoung]

These young performers are talented, but truth is, they are little more than a very good cover band. Their success will occur when they start recording and publishing original music and display their own creative talents, not merely mimicking what they have heard others do.

[@howards8535]

Love the Petersons covers. But no need to sideswipe Taylor Swift. Taylor writes her own songs and deserves every bit of fame, which she’s earned through her awesome creativity.

[@parakalevw]

O wow, Julianne you were made for this song! You make it look so easy. And great support from everyone else!

[@julieinthenorthwest4594]

The young'n killed it! Way to go Julianne

[@markperry3517]

Slow it down. Are we in a hurry to get somewhere?

[@MrTPiatt]

Julianne is so incredibly amazing... I have listened to this song like 10X....and still luving how gorgeous her voive and presense is throughout the song...I marvel at just how lovely she sounds....SHE IS DEFINITELY GOING STRAIGHT TO THE TOP 😃

[@ThePetersens]

Enjoyed every minute of hanging out with Reina and Toni in Texas! It is so much fun to jam with such kind people who share your love of music. Be sure to check out the video we did with them on their channel! kzbin.info/www/bejne/eWrWZHakqMR8b6s

Music at its finest...... you can't get any better than this from two of my favorite groups.

You all looked like you were having so much fun, just loved the clip

[@bigdaddybrns9568]

Julianne, I absolutely love this! I had never heard the song before, so I looked up Glen Campbell's version and I kind of like your version better. I think all of you did a wonderful job on this (unlike some people here). Also, I agree @trailtrs1. I would love to hear y'all do "You'll Never Leave Harlan Alive". Congrats on the 100k subs btw. Keep up the good work and God bless👍

Omg, I think I've died and gone to Heaven! I've enjoyed Reina del Cid's music for many years and I love her and Toni's music! Now I see them both playing with my newest favorite band, The Petersens! It just doesn't get better than this! Thanks for sharing!

What Peggy said!!! What a nice surprise!!!

[@franciscoarzaga4384]

Fantastic,and also the guest musicians ,Jules you’re unique

[@bgrigg07]

Two of my favorite KZbin bands finally playing together. I had only hoped for this. The only way to improve this is to have The Other Favorites playing along. The perfect trifecta! Julianne is perfect for this song!

[@barrym4079]

Reina and Tony sent me over. Sounds great. So glad to see the younger generation getting together to make beautiful music. Cheers from Canada.

[@donmiles5080]

This girl's voice is a unique gift. She should keep singing. She will do very well if she doesn't listen to the critics who's musical ignorance, lack of musical experience, and lack of musical skill would discourage her. It is the uniqueness of her voice that makes her so special. KEEP ON SINGING AND IGNORE THE CRITICS WHO HAVE NEVER DONE ANYTHING SIGNIFICANT WITH MUSIC. YOU WILL DO VERY WELL AND LAST OVER THE YEARS.

[@vicenzo2008]

I love how proud of their little sister Katie and Ellen looks like

[@mark3863]

Yeah, I noticed that too.

Oh! Forgot to mention! Love that bass player, she didn’t miss a beat. Superb Job. Thanks Terry

[@Papadoc1000]

Yes. Hers is always a great addition to the song, but often doesn't stand out like the other instruments. Mama nailed this one and became a feature of the song.

[@balthazar500]

Thank you guys for coming to Texas! Looking forward to seeing you again in June and December!

[@parismetro2012]

Many people can sing well but how you sing is what makes the difference. Julianne has a very unique voice, filled with with fragility and emotion...the kind of stuff record producers look for.

[@mbatchelor]

Can't get enough of The Petersens in general; but this is one I listen to over and over, its just so darn good. Maybe the best cover of this song I've heard; and for those who didn't know; the Glen Campbell version was also a cover - the original was preformed by the songs' writer Allen Toussaint. It was Campbell who sped the song up, though; Toussaints version was slower and very different.

[@brettjamz3]

It's just really nice seeing young people playing music with out all the " dressing" that's put on the players and the tracks. Very good very pure. A breath of fresh air. Thanks
