The Peterson Brothers

Friday, September 9

The Peterson Brothers possess a modern blend of blues, soul and funk.

Alex, 17, on bass and vocals, and Glenn Jr., 19, on guitar and lead vocals, grew up playing together since they were kids. Rising stars in Austin, the Peterson Brothers hold a standing-room-only weekly residency at Austin's famed music hall, The Continental Club. They have opened for Gary Clark Jr., Los Lonely Boys, the late B.B. King, Willie Nelson and Lisa Marie Presley, and have played with Buddy Guy, Michael Burks and many of Austin's finest musicians.

The Peterson Brothers have also gained the attention of the one and only Bootsy Collins, who has become a true mentor. Glenn and Alex are honing their musical chops daily and dazzling audiences playing gigs throughout the United States.

The Peterson Brothers take the stage at the Levitt Pavilion Arlington at 8 p.m. Friday, September 9.

Saturday, September 10

Aquile's singer/songwriter roots are firmly set in the small town of Douglas, Wyo., where the pop/soul artist honed his musical talents before heading west to make it big. Aquile landed on season three of NBC's The Voice, winning over three of the four coaches, Christina Aguilera, Adam Levine and Cee lo Green, before ultimately choosing Christina as his coach.

Following The Voice, Aquile went into the studio to work on his debut solo album, and released his first single, Control, in 2013. He opened for Kenny Loggins at the Levitt Pavilion last year, and returns this year for his own concert.

Aquile takes the stage at 8 p.m. at the Levitt Pavilion Arlington at 8 p.m. Saturday, September 10.

Sunday, September 11

Soul Track Mind has made a name for themselves by blending'60s and'70s era soul and RB with flares of jazz, blues, funk and dance rhythms and a sound deeply rooted in retro convictions that still manages to feel fresh and modern. Over the last few years, whirlwind front man Donovan Keith and the dapper disciples of Soul Track Mind have become synonymous with raucously entertaining shows. After releasing their 2010 debut album, Ghost of Soul, Soul Track Mind became a force to reckon with in the modern soul genre.

Their self-titled second album earned them the summer 2013 cover of Texas Music magazine and prompted the Huffington Post to declare Soul Track Mind 'a cultural exclamation point about American music.' The band's third album, Unbreakable, is an evolution and expansion of STM's sound far beyond what the band has done in the past. The Austin Chronicle proclaimed it 'a hot, horn-fed, electric guitar-etched platter of hard modern RB.'

Soul Track Mind takes the stage at Levitt Pavilion Arlington at 8 p.m. Sunday, September 11.
