Pert' Near Sandstone with Spider John Koerner
Take old time music off the back porch, throw out the hillbilly reputation, and put it in the hands of a group that like 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 recent 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.
Opening tonight will be West Bank blues legend Spider John Koerner!
