LedgeStone Vineyards

Caught Dogs in a Pile at Ledgestone Vineyard this week, and the setting alone was worth the trip — rolling vines, golden light, the kind of backdrop that makes you slow down before the first note even hits. The band wasn't quite what I expected going in, but that turned out to be part of the fun. Their jam-heavy sound took some unexpected turns — extended grooves, loose improvisation, a real "let the music breathe" energy that kept the crowd moving. Not the tight, radio-ready set I had pictured, but it grew on me fast. Great music, gorgeous venue, good company. Ledgestone continues to be one of those spots that makes any show feel like an occasion.

What a night. Pert Near Sandstone brought their signature high-energy bluegrass to Ledgestone Vineyard, and the whole crowd was locked in from the first note. Their mandolin, banjo, upright bass, and guitar lineup traded licks all night with the kind of chemistry that only comes from years on stage together, and the harmonies were tight even as the sky went gray and misty behind them. The opening act set the tone perfectly — uplifting, feel-good music that got everyone loose before Pert Near even took the stage. By the time the headliners kicked in, the crowd was singing along, dancing in the grass, and raising a glass between songs. It's that rare kind of show where the music, the setting, and the crowd all just click. Ledgestone Vineyard is a fantastic outdoor venue for this kind of thing — good sightlines, room to move, and a laid-back vibe that matched the music. We drank, sang, and danced the whole night through. Highly recommend catching Pert Near Sandstone live if you get the chance, and Ledgestone is a great spot to do it.

Outstanding when you have this much talent in one band, you are guaranteed to have a hot smoking show!!!!🕺

Entertaining performance, gifted playing, great connection with audience. Will try to catch them again.

The show was great!! The venue was cool, it was a beautiful summer night and the band was hot!!! They did a great show and really got the crowd dancing and singing along. The staff at Ledgestone were phenomenal. The entire event was wonderful. Very well done!!!!!!!!

It was very well organized, the venue is beautiful and really handled the crowd perfectly. Sarah was amazing as usual, she played all my favorites and a couple covers that were excellent. She always puts on a great show and really engages with the audience. Betsy Ade, the opener, was also fantastic! They played a great set and really set the tone for a great show. I'm so grateful we have access to such talent at these intimate venues in our area.
