David Peterson is a rare combination: a savvy independent recording artist and a bluegrass singer who cherishes tradition. His voice has that lofty quality that carries from mountain top to mountain top. It’s powerful, complete and saturated with Bill Monroe and Jimmy Martin’s blues. A Boston native, he’s not somebody who would have been issued a bluegrass license at birth. But Peterson learned the music from a deacon at his church and as music writer Robert Oermann likes to say, there’s nobody as zealous as a convert. When he got serious about the mandolin, the guitar and bluegrass music in 1995, Peterson left his track of becoming a minister to pursue music. Now, Dave preaches bluegrass with a missionary zeal, writes songs, sings, records and travels everywhere spreading the bluegrass message

Banjo picker Charlie Cushman has played with the best of the best including Merle Haggard, Amy Grant, Marty Raybon, Ricky Skaggs, Tony Rice, Charlie McCoy, the Osborne Brothers, Mel Tillis, Charlie Pride, Del McCoury, Vassar Clements, Jim Lauderdale, Tom T. Hall, Ray Stevens and many, many others. He’s played on video soundtracks for the Dukes of Hazard, Mike Snider Live, Bill Gaither’s “Bluegrass Reunion” and many other such works.
