Wayfaring Stranger - The Petersens (LIVE)

We finally have another Julianne song to share with you! We were a little worried the rain would be too much, but when we got the audio back, it added such a nice touch that fit perfect for the mood of the song. Our album, Live Sessions, Vol. 04, includes “Wayfaring Stranger“ and is dedicated to everyone who traveled to see us this year! Whether you have come to the Branson theater or a show on the road, it has meant so much to us that you want to hear us live. When we walk out on that stage and see your smiling faces, you give us energy and true joy as we perform. We also LOVE getting to meet you and put faces to the names that cross our screens. Thank you for giving your time and resources to see us do our favorite part of our jobs! We also recorded a twisted version of this song for our album, My Ozark Mountain Home, and it earned the title “Wayfaring Stranger Gets Stranger“ from mom! ►Buy or stream the album “Wayfaring Stranger Gets Stranger“ version Buy or stream the twisted version ►More gospel: Wade in the Water More Julianne: May Baby (Original) More Aaron: Back Home Again More solos: Swallowtail Jig ►Photo: Filming day ----------------------- ►Useful links: YouTube About page Most asked questions Join our Patreon community Subscribe to our channel Sign up to our email list Get It Mama Fan Club Show and tour dates Buy or stream our music ►Social media: Instagram Facebook TikTok @petersenband Twitter Band members Go behind the scenes with @ThePetersenFamily ►This video: Lead vocal & mandolin: @JuliannePetersen Harmony vocal & guitar: @mattpetersen4000 Harmony vocal & banjo: @EllenHaygood Harmony vocal & fiddle*: @katiepetersen Dobro: Emmett Franz Bass: Karen Petersen Wayfaring stranger: Aaron Clark, our videographer * That may have gotten a little wet through the recording process haha.

The band consists of four siblings, Katie, Ellen, Matt, and Julianne, our mom Karen, and good friend Emmett Franz.
