Carl Peterson
A performance by Carl Peterson, whether for a few thousand people or for a
few dozen, is best described as a warm, everyone-involved, familiar
evening-at-home experience. And home is where Carl was first introduced to music
and song. He learned the traditional songs of Scotland, Ireland, and England, as
well as contemporary music of the times, from family and friends alike. After
learning to play guitar and banjo, Peterson added American folk songs and
storytelling to his repertoire, and took it all from Scotland to Canada, then
later to America, via radio and television and live performances.
