Pert' Near Sandstone
with special guests
Head For The Hills

Take old time music off the back porch, throw out the
hillbilly reputation, and put it in the hands of a group that
likes to play hard and have fun. Pert Near Sandstone
rejuvenates American stringband music with raw energy
and an aggressive approach. They play well-crafted original
material that lends itself to the modern audience, as well as
being stewards of the old-time and bluegrass traditions.
Pert Near is as comfortable playing fully acoustic in the
traditional style, as they are plugged in at a rock
venue. From saloons to theaters, these boys keep your
attention, hollering into a single microphone and laying
thick rhythm on driving fiddle melodies.
Pert Near Sandstone emerged from the strong roots music
scene of Minneapolis and are now well-traveled across the
country, gaining momentum and quickly becoming an act
not to be missed in the current acoustic revival. They and
only a few other groups have shown the character and the
drive to lead stringband music well into the new century.
With the upcoming release of their third studio album, "Out
On A Spree" the boys continue to take their brand of old-
time music out on the rivers and roads of the country in the
revitalization of the American stringband tradition.
