About The Bands ---------------------------

About Armchair Boogie:
Armchair Boogie is bluegrass at full throttle, infused with the energy of a jam band and the swagger of rock ‘n’ roll. Hailing from Madison, WI, this electrifying quartet blends jamgrass, funk, and country into a sound that’s as infectious as it is unexpected. Known for their tight harmonies, blistering solos, and dance-fueled live shows, they’ve quickly become one of the most exciting acts on the circuit. The Bluegrass Situation named them a “Must-See Roots Artist at Bourbon & Beyond,” raving that their late-night set at the Earl Scruggs Music Festival was nothing short of a barn-burner. Mixing timeless originals with choice covers reimagined in their own style, Armchair Boogie delivers a fresh take on every stage they hit.
With Augie Dougherty on banjo, Ben Majeska on acoustic and electric guitars, and the locked-in rhythm section of Eli Frieders (electric bass) and Denzel Connor (drums), the band stretches the boundaries of bluegrass with fiery instrumentals and deep-pocket grooves. Their adventurous approach to the music keeps audiences on their feet and coming back for more.



About Pert Near Sandstone:
Crossing Old-time instrumentation with contemporary sensibilities, Pert Near Sandstone emerged twenty years ago from the Minnesota acoustic music scene. With infectious energy and collaborative spirit, they have established themselves as standard-bearers for the vitality of the Midwestern roots music scene and alongside Minnesota brethren Trampled By Turtles and Charlie Parr. They have toured extensively and performed onstage with the likes of Sam Bush and Jerry Douglas, earning dates along the way with everyone from Yonder Mountain String Band to Steve Martin. NPR's Mountain Stage praised the band for putting a "Midwestern stamp on Appalachian [sounds]," while A Prairie Home Companion described Pert Near Sandstone as “a force on the Minnesota roots music scene and beyond,” and The Current praised their live performances as "a frenzied string shredding spree that takes audiences under its spell." As festival favorites in both the US and Europe, the band helped to launch the Blue Ox Music Festival in 2015, which they continue to host and curate each June in Eau Claire, WI. For the past decade, the now prestigious music festival has helped bring into the local community a great many nationally treasured artists such as Bela Fleck, Billy Strings, Tyler Childers, Jerry Douglas, Margo Price, the Preservation Hall Jazz Band, Charlie Crockett, The Infamous Stringdusters, Jason Isbell, Greensky Bluegrass, The Drive By Truckers, and so many more.
