InfluencesLocal and regional music has been, by far, our greatest influence. We were fortunate to stumble on the historical West Bank music scene, brought up listening to A Prairie Home Companion, and are still learning from good friends in a strong community that is supportive and cooperative.

See our individual profiles for specific influences. Also check out other Minnesota acts. There is a wealth of great folk, blues, roots, and a local legacy we are honored to be a part of.

   About Pert Near Sandstone


------------------------------------------------------

10klf poster


Pert' Near Sandstone came out of the great Minneapolis folk scene. Gathered round a single microphone, these boys play well crafted original stringband music, as well as being stewards of the old-time tradition. Their high-energy and gritty brand of stringband music is sure to get you outta your seat and keep you dancing...

With the release of their latest album, "Needle and Thread" Pert Near Sandstone is hitting it hard, continuing to take their music out on the rivers and roads of the country as a part of the revitalization of the American stringband tradition.

Hey there!!

I just wanted to stop by and wish you a happy Saturday! May the weekend bring you fun adventures, relaxation, and total contentment :)

I was going to go camping this weekend, but this is definitely NOT camping weather. So me and some friends are gonna go check out Dueling Pianos. Those guys are amazing - they can play just about any song that's been on the radio between 1950 and 2005.

Anyways, I wanted to let you know about a show we have @ Station 4 on Friday, October 16th. We are debuting a series of one time only performance art pieces. This one is called "AN OBJECT TO CRAVE". Live music and visuals based on a short story about life, love, loss, fantasy, obsession and death.

Another group of mine, The Magnetrons, which plays an exciting and innovative Livetronica set (i.e. STS9, Disco Biscuits, The Histronic) will also be playing. The night will be full of creative, interesting, high-energy music, good drinks and good times.

Here's the info:

Blood Root Mother - "An Object to Crave"
w/ The Magnetrons & Thought Thieves
Friday, October 16th
Station 4
201 E 4th St
St Paul, MN 55101
9pm / $5 / 18+


We'd love to see ya there!

Peace,
Elliot

LOUDRAY



Sep 25 2009 6:49 PM

Just to let you know, LOUDRAY is still holding church on Thursdays.

We've been holding it down there for 10 months and as our 1 year anniversary of this residency approaches we are stepping up the revival.  For the past 8 months we've been joined by some of the finest musicians in town (Martin Devaney, Ric Lee, Glenn Hanson, Dave Babb, Jake Hyer, Kurt Froelich, Meg Ashling, Jen Markey, Mother Banjo, Eliza Blue, Pete Bauer, just to name a few) but for the next 2 months, it's just going to be the classic LOUDRAY duo of Jon Stowell and Colin Anderson.  We will be digging deep into the back catalog of songs and bringing some new light through these old windows.

We have been doing these shows in the classic "unamplified" style as of late and look to continue that trend.

So, stop in for some fellowship and true acoustic music, and wash away the week with sweet, redeeming booze.

$2.75 select taps from 5-7pm!!!  Plenty of parking!!

Come on, isn't it time to slum it at the Dub!!
