Heroes of Minnesota's rollicking roots music scene, Pert Near Sandstone, joined MPR News host Tom Weber in the Maud Moon Weyerhaeuser studio for fun conversation about clogging, 12-point bucks and endless touring.

The newgrass-bluegrass band also participated in a surprise quiz about Sandstone, Minn., and the results were pert near perfect. Their performances included tunes from their new album, "Discovery of Honey," as well as a classic from "Needle and Thread."
