Pert Near Sandstone at Turf Club (01 Mar 2025)

We last saw the band in March 2025 and wrote: “Pert Near Sandstone closed out the second night with a brand new setlist, much more different than the previous night. This was done to for the band to keep it interesting, playing some more obscure songs. This was also done for the diehard fans who purchased tickets to both nights, so that they get their money’s worth… Not much have changed, bluegrass is still massive in Minnesota, thanks to such bands as Trampled by Turtles, Pert Near Sandstone, Cactus Blossoms, and Charlie Parr! It is so big that Trampled by Turtles curated their Festival Palomino and Pert Near Sandstone curates the Blue Ox Music Festival. Both are very well attended… Based on strong turnout and great enthusiasm from their fans, you bet that they are already thinking about next year’s Winter String Band Gathering shows.”

The ticket limit is strict. Any attempt to exceed the posted ticket limit per customer or household, or to game the system in any way, will result in cancellation of orders without notice. There is a transfer delay for all tickets prior to the show.
