Nederland is gearing up for this weekend's NedFest at Barker Reservoir, a three-day jam band, world beat, and bluegrass extravaganza that has been going strong for eight years now. This year's lineup features Dr. John, the Sam Bush Band, Melvin Seals, and of course, The Motet, the Boulder group that has been playing NedFest since the beginning. The jammy world beat band, led by drummer Dave Watts, has a new CD out, Instrumental Dissent, and a busy schedule of fall performances.
