Live Music concert Saturday evening with

 
CARSON PETERS AND IRON MOUNTAIN

Carson Peters is among the group of young traditional bluegrass and country musicians making a comeback to the Nashville scene. At only 21 years old, Carson has made the most of his young career. In 2011, 8-year-old Carson made a guest appearance on NBC’s “The Tonight Show with Jay Leno”, in which he performed for Leno and Betty White. A few years later, in 2014, Ricky Skaggs made one of Peters’ biggest dreams a reality, inviting him to perform “Blue Moon of Kentucky” at the Grand Ole Opry. Carson has made several trips back to the Opry since. In 2016, Peters made the trip back to L.A. to be a guest on NBC’s “Little Big Shots with Steve Harvey”. In 2018, Skaggs once again invited Carson back to Nashville, this time to perform at the 52nd CMA Awards Show, during Skaggs’ Country Music Hall of Fame induction performance. Most recently, in 2021, Peters was a contestant on NBC’s “The Voice”, and received a coveted 4-chair-turn with his rendition of the Don Williams classic, “Tulsa Time”.

Carson Peters and Iron Mountain has quickly become one of the most energetic and hottest bands in the business, making numerous trips to the Grand Ole Opry, multiple international appearances, and having countless songs on the bluegrass and bluegrass gospel charts. Their traditional style and A Cappella arrangements are a refreshing reminder that the bluegrass of old is alive and well. The band is made up of Carson Peters (21), from Piney Flats, TN, James McDowell (29), from Hendersonville, NC, Taylor Parks (20) from Bloxom, VA, and Austin Tate (25) from Marion, VA. In 2023, Carson and the band signed with Billy Blue Records, releasing their latest project, “Gotta Lotta Lonesome” under the esteemed bluegrass label.
