Pert Near Sandstone in the First Ave Mainroom

Take old time music off the back porch, throw out the hillbilly reputation, and put it in the hands of a group of guys that like to work hard and play even harder. Pert Near Sandstone rejuvenates American string band music with raw energy; they play tightly-crafted original material that lends itself to the modern audience, as well as being stewards of the old-time and bluegrass traditions. They are just as at home playing fully acoustic in the traditional style as they are plugged in at an indie rock venue. Split Lip Rayfield and Hobo Nephews Of Uncle Frank also perform. First Avenue Mainroom. Saturday, October 24. 7:30 pm. $15.00 advance, $18.00 door. 18+. Presented by 89.3 The Current.
