Pert Near Sandstone plays Bluegrass, both original and traditional, but they bring the old music to a new audience with their enthusiasm, tight harmonies and class. With four albums under their belt from 2005 - 2009, the band is currently producing number five at Wild Time Recording Studio with hopes to realease the album in the fall of 2011. We'll hear their interview with Anna Flores, and part of their performance from Midwest Music Fest 2011 in Winona Minnesota
