Live Performance From The Pettet's

The Pettets have distinguished careers that brought them to Broadway, movies, radio, and television. They have performed at the White House and national stages around the country. Mother Daughter Denise and Ashley Pettet perform popular music and nostalgic favorites that delight their audiences. Their collaborations are featured in concert series, tours, corporate and private events, and both mainstream and digital media outlets. They work with companies, nonprofits, military and veterans organizations, as well as charitable and civic organizations.

Denise and Ashley provide a unique blend of harmony and melody that can be found from a special Mother Daughter partnership. Their artistic influences can be heard in their song selection and concerts. Ashley’s son Todd plays with them, providing a unique experience as three generations creating music together. Their song styling is refreshing and uplifting.
