Pert Near Sandstone

This progressive bluegrass five-piece is marking its return to touring with a first stop in Madison. Based in Minneapolis, Pert Near Sandstone released their debut album, Up and Down the River, in 2007. In 2015, the string band founded the Blue Ox Music Festival, a popular summer music and camping destination for Americana fans (currently scheduled to return to its traditional June perch in 2022). Also on the bill is The People Brothers Band, an eight-person rhythm and soul band from Madison.

$20 ($17 adv.).

media release: Pert Near Sandstone is already in touring-form after the triumphant return of their own Blue Ox Music Festival in 2021 - this is looking like an exciting time of celebration after a year of uncertainty and waiting. 

Check out their most recent music video for “Kings and Clowns” here and their electrifying and innovative bluegrass cover of “I Am the Walrus” for Minnesota’s 89.3 The Current here.

Crossing old-time instrumentation with contemporary sensibilities, Pert Near Sandstone first emerged from Minneapolis in 2007 with their acclaimed debut, Up And Down The River. Over the course of five more studio albums and several live releases, they established themselves as standard-bearers for the versatility and vitality of the Midwestern roots music scene, performing onstage with the likes of Steve Martin and the Flaming Lips and earning dates along the way with everyone from Trampled By Turtles and Del McCoury to Yonder Mountain String Band and Sam Bush.
