The Peterson Brothers

The Peterson Brothers are playing Saxon Pub on Tuesday, July 28, as part of a run they're doing every Tuesday in July. It's a local Austin act, and they're playing right here in the city where they grew up.

Glenn and Alex Peterson are brothers, and that's a good place to start with them. They've spent their whole lives making music together, and you can hear that chemistry on stage. They describe their sound as a blend of deep-rooted blues traditions with soul, funk, R&B, and infectious grooves—the kind of set that moves from a slow burn to something you can't help but dance to. It's high-energy, and since they're siblings, there's a shorthand between them that comes from a lifetime of playing together.

If you're not familiar with them, they're Austin born and raised, and they've built a reputation as one of the most exciting live acts in the country. The set pulls from those blues roots but stretches out into soul and funk, so it's not just one thing. It's a full-band sound that works as well for a casual Tuesday as it does for a proper night out.

Admission is free, though they encourage RSVPs and appreciate tips. The show runs from 6 to 7 PM, so it's an early one—easy to catch before your night really gets going. If you're around on a Tuesday in July, The Peterson Brothers will be at Saxon Pub from 6 to 7 PM.
