New Artist Spotlight: Peter Paulsen & BrotherWonder – Anoka, MN

Peter Paulsen has had music running through his body from a very early age, so it wasn’t long before he began writing his own songs to sing. Raised on Christian radio and worship music, Peter decided early on that he wanted his music to trend toward that direction. Not only is it a stylistic choice, but for him, it also flows from his heart. His music blends deep and honest lyrics with a faithfulness to Biblical truth and eternal hope. He has spent the past several years sharing his gifts with others through leading worship in various settings. As both a songwriter and artist, his work has also found its way to the radio. Streamed around the world and heard from multiple stages, Peter’s music has touched numerous lives. Perhaps no song of his has been more inspirational and meaningful than his song “Again,” which he debuted while in college and had a music video made of. While worship and CCM dominate his musical repertoire, Peter has also branched out into country music. He appreciates both the nostalgia of this genre and its ability to communicate Biblical truth in ways that worship music and CCM do not. In the words of his song “Again,” Peter makes his life goal clear: “I only want to follow where You lead.” As God continues to open doors in music, Peter seeks to humbly and joyfully walk through them for the glory of God and the spread of the gospel around the world.

Brother Wonder, a band of two brothers (Hunter and Drake), are from the great state of Minnesota, where lakes outnumber their collective ex-girlfriends (which according to them, isn’t hard to do…) They swapped childhood rivalry for making music together. They both sing and play guitar. Their songs are a mix of heartfelt melodies and thoughtful lyrics inspired from their individual and collective experience as Christians. They draw inspiration from the likes of Coldplay, Flyte, John Mark McMillan and many more. Their acoustic show consists of telling stories and and sharing their music in an organic format.
