The band consists of Nate Sipe on mandolin and fiddle, Kevin Kneibel on banjo, J Lenz on guitar, Adam Kiesling on bass, and Andy Lambert on washboard. Their live show has won raves before a wide range of audiences, and takes them to both traditional music events and large-capacity rock venues.
We asked about the band’s odd moniker, and got this response from Sipe:
“We’ve always found ourselves inexplicably drawn to the Mississippi River where we feel a kinship with the bluffs that guide the mighty flow from Minnesota to Louisiana; Pert Near Sandstone.”
PNS has a music video in advance of the CD, for the song Solid Gone, a band original that takes the classic fiddle tune Sail Away Ladies as its foundation.
