"American Idol [----] - Ellen Petersen Audition Ellen's Season [--] American Idol audition with "I Wanna Be A Cowboy's Sweetheart." "The Beverly Hillbillies" at the end was not a set up haha. I am just thankful I remembered how to play the song I initially auditioned for American Idol while they were on their Bus Tour in [----] at the Branson Landing. I then advanced to Kansas City Missouri where this clip was filmed while I auditioned for the celebrity judges: Keith Urban Harry Connick Jr. and Jennifer Lopez. I made it through Hollywood Week and advanced to the top [--] and was eventually cut in"

"Till the Rivers All Run Dry - The Petersens (LIVE) One of our favorite love songs Our grandpa had a cassette mixed tape in his old red pickup truck and Don Williams' "Till the Rivers All Run Dry" was one of the songs we heard a lot in the rotation. It's a stunning melody and the harmonies from Katie and Matt make it a joy to sing. With Julianne being a full-time college student we are just thrilled she has the time to come home and learn the mandolin part Hopefully this summer she will have more time to step back in on vocals :) Buy or stream the album https://li.sten.to/myozarkmountainhome"

"Jolene - The Petersens "Jolene" is a Dolly Parton cover and the second video we ever filmed. Our early days were a steep learning curve For sound quality we tried recording the sound in our living room on separate microphones before filming the video using a microphone as a prop for a focal point.

"Go Tell John - The Petersens (LIVE) "Go Tell John" talks about one of my favorite stories from the Bible. John the Baptist Jesus's cousin and the one that baptized him and prepared the way has a moment of doubt when he is in prison. Matthew 11:2-5 "Now when John heard in prison about the deeds of the Christ he sent word by his disciples and said to him 'Are you the one who is to come or shall we look for another' And Jesus answered them 'Go and tell John what you hear and see: the blind receive their sight and the lame walk lepers are cleansed and the deaf hear and the dead are raised up and"

"Down to the River to Pray - The Petersens (LIVE) Emmett and Katie came up with such a beautiful arrangement of "Down to the River to Pray" a traditional gospel song that Alison Krauss famously recorded for the [----] movie "O Brother Where Art Thou". The fun interlude at 1:45 was Katie's idea. We try to match our songs to locations and it can take a little while for the song venue and lead singer to all come together at the same time Sometimes we also have to wait for the leaves to return to the Ozarks the heavy rains to stop or Julianne to come back from college.
