Live Music: The Peterson Brothers
The Peterson Brothers are a dynamic soul/funk/blues band rooted in the Austin, Texas music scene.
The duo hails from Bastrop, Texas and has built a reputation over the past decade for electrifying live performances that honor classic soul and blues while injecting fresh energy and modern flair.
Their musical journey began early—reports say they played with blues legend Pinetop Perkins as teenagers in Austin, which solidified their ambitions.
The Peterson Brothers’ sound is a vibrant fusion of funk grooves, soulful vocals, blues guitar licks, and jazzy improvisation. They cite inspirations like The Isley Brothers, Earth, Wind & Fire, and B.B. King.
On stage, they bring charismatic showmanship—tight rhythms, bold guitar solos, and energetic interaction with the audience. According to one review, their festival sets are “like a NASCAR race” in terms of speed and intensity, with the crowd riding along on their crescendoing jams.
As the largest outdoor restaurant in Texas, The OASIS, Lake Travis restaurant, has earned the reputation as the Sunset Capital of Texas.
