Pert Near Blue Ox 2017_edited.jpg

Hailing from Minneapolis & St. Paul, Minnesota and founded by childhood friends within the vibrant Minneapolis music scene, Pert Near’s chemistry hearkens back to the family bands of yesteryear. They cut straight to the heart across the musical landscape of the Great North and beyond. Formed soon after the turn of the millennium, they have been tireless stewards of the midwestern roots music community ever since. Privileged with co-founding, curating and hosting the prestigious Blue Ox Music Festival, Pert Near performs with infectious energy and an undeniable joy. Strong songcraft melds with old-time sensibilities in a unique brand of modern string band music delivered to fans around the world. Their new album, ‘Rising Tide’, reaches a new height in their songwriting, addressing issues directly relating to our modern times and not holding back commentary on politics and society. Touring from the Great North on the regular, they bring their performances Northwest across to Southeast and often to central Europe.

Described as "an exciting goulash of Kacey Musgraves, Chris Stapleton, Florence + The Machine, and Joe Cocker" (MostlyMinnesota); what began as two songwriters who were inspired by artists like Brandi Carlile and Joe Cocker, quickly grew into a dynamic Americana 6-piece that showcases distinctive songs, fantastic harmonies, and tight musicianship with shared lead vocals.
