Tucker Peterson is a Guitar Performance major at McNally Smith College of Music, slated to graduate December 2014. At McNally Smith he focused on becoming as multifaceted a performer as possible. He played in ensembles as diverse as hip-hop, classic country, jazz, funky New Orleans blues, and heavy metal.
