Green Lake, Wis. – String Band Pert Near Sandstone will stop at Thrasher Opera House in Green Lake for their Road To Blue Ox Tour on Saturday, June 01 at 7:30 p.m. Pert Near Sandstone first gathered around a microphone in a Minneapolis basement to record their debut album more than a decade ago. Since then, they have cemented their status as linchpins of the Midwestern acoustic scene with energized interpretations of the traditional old-time sound. Through constant touring and a variety of festival appearances, such as the prestigious Telluride Bluegrass Festival, as well as sharing bills on the road with the likes of Trampled By Turtles, Del McCoury Band, Sam Bush, and more, the band has tapped their fan base to undertake their most ambitious project to date: co-founding the Blue Ox Music Festival. Debuting in 2015, the festival has become an annual pilgrimage for roots music fans nationwide. It has featured some of the world’s most legendary and up-and-coming artists like Bela Fleck, Tyler Childers, Jerry Douglas, Margo Price, Preservation Hall Jazz Band, Greensky Bluegrass, Shovels & Rope, Justin Townes Earle, The Infamous Stringdusters, Peter Rowan, and more.
