PERT NEAR SANDSTONE

About the Band:

Pert Near has always made music their own way. For two decades this multi-voiced group of songwriters has created original music that beguiles their acoustic instrumentation. The bluegrass genre has grown broad since their beginnings in “the heart of the heartland,” as they describe their Minnesota origins. The band continually creates music that's true to their roots while still sonically experimenting in a way that pushes the boundaries of what "old time and bluegrass music" can be. In an industry that discovers and devourers the next pop icon, Pert Near remains steadfast and comfortable in the fringes. Their ethos is more punk than folk, but that shouldn't come to any surprise being that they share a hometown with the likes of The Replacements, Husker Du, and Babes in Toyland. Performing and recording with a determination that keeps the fire lit ‘til morning, they have gracefully become veterans, touring internationally and spreading an influential firebrand–a celebration in every gathering as resistance to modern circumstances.

On March 27th, Pert Near Sandstone will be performing alongside The Fretliners and The May North, and on the 28th, Armchair Boogie and Triple Fiddle.
