The Crawdad Song - The Petersens (LIVE)

We grew up watching the Andy Griffith Show and when we were coming up with songs for the new album, we knew we had to choose one from Andy’s front porch. Hope you enjoy this Americana classic, “The Crawdad Song“! Fun fact, we use this song as a change of pace in the middle of our 90-minute Branson show and it replaced our original, The Ring Song , that we played for many years. ►Buy or stream the album ►Another song inspired by the Andy Griffith Show: Hey, Grandpa (Original) ►Photo album: Filming day Sisters Katie Ellen ----------------------- ►Useful links: YouTube About page Most asked questions Join our Patreon community Subscribe to our channel Sign up to our email list Get It Mama Fan Club Show and tour dates Buy or stream our music ►Social media: Instagram Facebook TikTok @petersenband Twitter Band members Go behind the scenes with @ThePetersenFamily ►This video: Vocals and fiddle: @katiepetersen Vocals and banjo: @EllenHaygood Vocals and mandolin: @JuliannePetersen Key moments: 0:01 The Crawdad Song 0:20 Katie 0:25 Ellen 1:10 mandolin 1:20 Julianne 1:33 tonal modulation 2:33 The Arkansas Traveler - fiddle 2:41 banjo 3:13 outro Turn on captions (CC) to see the lyrics on screen.
