Down That Dirt Road - The Petersens Original (LIVE)

Katie, Emmett, and our friend Johnny Meyer wrote this song about our grandparents' farm in Mountain Grove, Missouri. It's often the simple things in life that mean the most. "Down That Dirt Road" appears on our newest EP, The Greenest Grass, available to buy or stream now! We are so grateful to our patrons for allowing us to focus on original music this year! Without Patreon we would be on the road many more weekends trying to make money, but we have been able to sit back and give space to the writing process.
