Pert Near Sandstone is coming to Alluvial for 2 shows with a special guest each night!

Sat 12/14 7pm - $15/$20 - all ages

Crossing Old-time instrumentation with contemporary sensibilities, Pert Near Sandstone emerged nearly twenty years ago from the Minnesota acoustic music scene. With infectious energy and collaborative spirit, they have established themselves as standard-bearers for the vitality of the Midwestern roots music scene and alongside Minnesota brethren Trampled By Turtles and Charlie Parr. They have toured extensively and performed onstage with the likes of Sam Bush and Jerry Douglas, earning dates along the way with everyone from Yonder Mountain String Band to Steve Martin. NPR's Mountain Stage praised the band for putting a "Midwestern stamp on Appalachian [sounds]," while A Prairie Home Companion described Pert Near Sandstone as “a force on the Minnesota roots music scene and beyond,” and The Current praised their live performances as "a frenzied string shredding spree that takes audiences under its spell." As festival favorites in both the US and Europe, the band helped to launch the Blue Ox Music Festival in 2015, which they continue to host and curate each June in Eau Claire, WI. For the past decade, the now prestigious music festival has helped bring into the local community a great many nationally treasured artists such as Bela Fleck, Billy Strings, Tyler Childers, Jerry Douglas, Margo Price, the Preservation Hall Jazz Band, Charlie Crockett, The Infamous Stringdusters, Jason Isbell, Greensky Bluegrass, The Drive By Truckers, and so many more.

The Iowa No Mountain Boys play an eclectic mix of original and traditional bluegrass music, paying homage to its roots. The band started during picking sessions on the porch of local bluegrass roustabout, Mark Hargrove, but quickly realized their line-up provided a unique and satisfying musical element that was missing from the local scene. Focusing on multi-part harmonies and driving instrumental breaks, the Iowa No Mountain Boys enjoy bringing the beauty of traditional bluegrass music to audiences new and old.

The band features Mark Hargrove on fiddle/vocals, Everett Hargrove on banjo, Andrew Hoiberg on guitar/vocals and Chris Myers on bass/vocals with the as-available addition of Kyle Murphy on mandolin/vocals.
