Seven years ago, Peterson composed his musical rendition of the Christmas story to remind people of the holiday’s true significance. Since then, he and a small band have performed the songs each holiday season to sold-out crowds nationwide, as well as a highlighted performance in Peterson’s hometown of Nashville, TN at the famed Ryman Auditorium. Past events have featured such artists as Alison Krauss, Phil Keaggy, Mindy Smith, Pierce Pettis, Matt Slocum and members of Nickel Creek, who have joined Peterson for an in-the-round segment of original material before gathering on stage to perform his musical, Behold the Lamb of God: The True Tall Tale of the Coming of Christ. Responding to demand from fans of his Christmas concert, in 2004, Peterson recorded the songs on an album titled Behold the Lamb of God. “It's a pretty different approach to an album,” Peterson explains. “I don't know of any Christian albums like it in that it's a concept album with a story-telling style. My foremost concern was with accurately conveying the story of Christ’s birth, and doing it as artfully as possible.” Click here to see photos of this performance!	“My hope is that my music captures a hint of the beauty of God’s story. With this album, I tried to squeeze it into about ten songs." — Andrew Peterson About Andrew Peterson Andrew Peterson has long been known for his intricate songwriting and transparent candor on stage, often drawing comparisons to predecessor Rich Mullins.

His latest project, The Far Country released in August of 2005. Peterson is currently recording a new studio album The Resurrection Letter, Vol. 2, which is set to be released late 2007.
