Pert Near Sandstone

Musically, Pert Near Sandstone draws from the classical bluegrass tradition with instruments like banjo, mandolin, violin, and pedal steel, but their sound extends far beyond the genre's boundaries. The result is a dynamic and vibrant fusion, which most describe as Americana.

The American roots and bluegrass band Pert Near Sandstone is ready to take the European stages this fall with their latest album Side By Side in their luggage.

With roots in Minneapolis, Minnesota, Pert Near Sandstone has marked itself as one of the most energetic and innovative actors on the American roots scene for over 20 years. The band was formed by four friends with a shared passion for modern stringband music, and their concerts are known to be both virtuosic, intense, and full of humor.

Pert Near Sandstone has performed on stages around the world and was a guest at Roskilde Festival in 2017. In the United States, they have shared the stage with names like Béla Fleck, Billy Strings, Jerry Douglas, and Steve Martin.

With the release of their 11th album Side By Side in February, the band once again cements their position as flagbearers for modern Midwest roots music. The audience can look forward to a concert experience characterized by infectious energy, strong songcraft, and musical abundance.
