Pearle Peterson releases music single

Country album in the works

After performing “The Star-Spangled Banner” twice at the World Series in back-to-back years, Sequim’s Pearle Peterson has hit another musical milestone.

Earlier this month, she released her country music single “Another You!” via her website pearlepeterson.com.

Peterson is a three-time Olympic Region Youth of the Year for the Boys & Girls Clubs of the Olympic Peninsula, and a current Lyric Theatre major at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign. She holds dreams of performing on Broadway and making her first album, which she’s been doing in a Nashville studio, according to her website.

“I am the most excited I have ever been to share this music, this art, that I have so passionately poured my heart into,” she wrote online.

“I couldn’t be prouder for the little girl fighting for her voice to be heard, both as a musician and a person.”

Peterson spent much of her childhood in Sequim, and got her first job at the Sequim Boys & Girls Club helping with the Summer Food Program in Carrie Blake Community Park. She was chosen as a junior to be a National Youth Talent Performer for the national Boys & Girls Club where she garnered the attention to represent the club for Major League Baseball at the World Series. This national attention led her to connect with a Nashville music producer to record the full-length album.

She credited in a previous interview the Boys & Girls Club for helping her.

“Making it to the World Series was a testament that if you want to work hard and want it as badly as I wanted it, you’ll get there,” she said.
