YouTube sensation, On the Rocks alum, amazing vocalist, and my friend, Peter Hollens just released his first CD on a major record label! He’s a fantastic singer, and his CD is tremendous, so I’ve decided to do a Peter Hollens signed CD giveaway for you guys! I have two – TWO – signed CDs to give away!
Peter and Evynne were both generous enough to sign two copies of his CD. Funny story: When we went to their house to get their autographs on the CDs, Alma was pretty excited. She’s been watching Peter’s YouTube videos since she was a baby, but hasn’t seen Peter in real life for quite a while (we’ve gotten to see Evynne more often, since we go to baby events with her and Ashland). Alma, very earnestly, said to Peter, “Peter, I see you in the show. You are singing. I see you there!” It was pretty amazing – I think she was a little star-struck.
I’ve known Evynne since we were in high school drama together. She really is as positive, sweet, and inspiring as she seems on her vlog. And she always has been. Here we are before a performance of The Pajama Game. Sweet hair, right?
I have amazing memories of summers with Evynne, playing at the river, running through sprinklers doing obstacle courses, our bowling team (the Smooth ‘n’ Eazy), watching her in beautiful performances (my favorite, by far, being Next to Normal). I even got to spend an amazing summer watching Evynne and Peter fall in love.
She sang a beautiful version of The Lord’s Prayer at our wedding.
To celebrate this amazing accomplishment for their family, I’m doing a Peter Hollens signed CD giveaway! I have two CDs that are signed by Peter, with the liner notes signed by both Peter and Evynne (Evynne is featured on the album, too). It is really a beautiful album, so even if you don’t win my giveaway, you should totally go buy it for yourself!
To Enter: Go to Peter or Evynne‘s YouTube channel and let me know what your favorite song is! I will randomly choose TWO winners for the signed copy of Peter’s CD. Make sure you leave your email address! If you want to buy a copy, you can find out how at Peter’s website! This one is my favorite:
Good luck! The giveaway will close this Friday, November 7th, and 8 pm Pacific time. I will announce the winner on the blog, and email the winners, so be sure you leave your email.
Update: The giveaway is closed! Our winners were Dawn and Jane! Congratulations! Check your emails for an email from me!
It is really hard to chose a favourite… I think for me it’s Misty Mountains as it is the first ever song I heard Peter sing.

Hey! You know Peter and Ev in person, cool! I live in Spain, so it’s difficult for me… I’d like to have a signed copy of the CD 🙂
I can’t just pick one song! But if I have to I will probably go with Baba Yetu, sounds amazing. And for Evynne, I’ll say Brave.
Hands down, my favorite Hollens song is Shanandoah! I used to not like the song but the way Peter songs it my mind is totally changed!
WOW! If I have to pick a favorite…I’ll go with the Skyrim theme for Peter (my fave game AND the video that introduced me to Peter!) For Evynne…that’s tough, but I think it would have to be her cover of Let It Go from Frozen! She knocked it out of the park!!!
I absolutely love the version of The Prayer that Peter and Evynne did! Their voices together are magic! You can really feel the emotion in the song! A really close second is Ashland’s song! It is so hard to just pick one!
Too many songs to pick for my favorite of Peter’s and Evynne but Ill go with favorite song Peter has done has got to be “Wont Give Up” by Jason Mraz and for Evynne its absolutely “Let it Go” from Frozen!!!
Hmmm. This is like picking a favorite child lol! I would have to say Into the West is my favorite at the moment. 🙂 As for a song with Evynne and Peter, I adore the song they did for the commercial, “Fall in Love” 🙂
WOW, do I have to pick a favorite, they are all fantastic, My favorite Peter Hollens song is Shenandoah, for Peter and Evynne it would have to be Fall in Love. The entire CD is awesome, Love to have one, Thanks for all the music you two, and keep up the excellent work!
I love the video!!

[…] house. It was totally full of fog. I wish I had taken photos, but I was too nervous. I mean, Peter is pretty much totally famous. There were other people there being filmed for the Army. I listened to the song a few times […]
