David Peterson is a rare combination of savvy independent recording artist and bluegrass singer who cherishes tradition.  His voice has that mountain quality that is full of Bill Monroe and Jimmy Martin’s blues.  A Boston native, he’s been in Nashville for 30 years, and has become one of the caretakers of traditional bluegrass. 

Dave always marched to his own drum. His famous peers, like Stuart Duncan, Vince Gill, David Grisman and Sam Bush, love to record with him, gathered old style around a  single microphone. His albums are joyful and powerful and full of gospel. He's a unique and powerful voice.
