Pert Near Sandstone
As longtime stewards of the modern stringband revival, Pert Near has a songcraft informed by the American folk tradition in a delivery of acoustic instrumentation. The songs themselves tell a different tale, lightly veiled as bluegrass while sneakily appeasing their inner desire for a more modern musical timbre. [Their studio efforts have gradually strayed from the reliquary of common stringband selections. This traditional catalog from a bygone era, while being quintessential for the development of much popular music, can often be troublesome when scrutinized by today’s standards and public ethos.] Instead, Pert Near offers another full album of original songs that meditates on this exact present, rich with context and reference.

Wheels North
Wheels North is a progressive newgrass band from the Illinois Fox Valley comprised of Mark Frystak (guitar/vocal), Hayley Skreens (banjo/vocal), Jesse Fuller (bass/vocal) and Chris Grant (fiddle). Wheels North offers powerful three-part harmonies, skillfully crafted song arrangements, and an enticing catalog of both originals and covers. Their live show is engaging and energetic, and challenges the limits of grass based music.
