Minnesota's Pert Near Sandstone bring their warm, charming americana and bluegrass to Copenhagen. The band grew out of the state's acoustic music scene and blends traditional arrangements with a modern sensitivity, with melodies sometimes lifted by an almost symphonic string section and banjo and pedal steel carrying the sound at other times.
Over the past two decades the band has become one of the leading voices of Midwestern roots music, touring widely and playing alongside artists from Sam Bush and Jerry Douglas to Steve Martin. They have also been festival favourites in the US and Europe, and they played Roskilde Festival in 2017. Their 11th album, "Side By Side", came out in February 2026, and critics have praised the band's humour and presence on stage.
