2 2017 Nederland Music and Arts Festival Welcome to the 19th annual Nederland Music and Arts

We like to call it Colorado’s most intimate music festival because spectators are never more than 200 feet from the stage and anyone can get right up to the front and see the artists’ faces and fingers. No Jumbotron needed! There is room to dance and hula-hoop or just lay back and look at the sky and enjoy the wonderful music. We have some great artist booths this year. There are several yummy choices for delectable dinners, three breweries, and a meadery to tempt your taste buds. Our long-time sponsor Indian Peaks Spring Water has all the wonderful water you need (bring your water bottle!) so make sure to stay hydrated while having fun! If you have little ones with you, make sure you don’t miss our special kid’s tent with face painting and fun stuff to do while at the fest. We have a fantastic mix of music for you this year, so whether you want to dance your days and nights away or just sit back and relax, we’ve got a fantastic weekend for you! The NedFest Staff The Peak to Peak Music Education Association organizes and hosts the Nederland Music and Arts Festival, more commonly known as NedFest. The PPMEA was formed in 2011 following the death of NedFest founder “Michigan Mike” Torpie to continue the festival and use its resources to support music education programs for local kids. It received full recognition as a 501(c)3 organization in 2014. So far, the PPMEA has given a grant to fund an after school music teacher at the TEENS, Inc. Teen Center, provided funds for a matching grant for the Nederland Elementary School to get instruments for beginning students, and gave several scholarships for music lessons to promising, young local musicians in need. These scholarships not only help the young musicians but also help support our local instructors as well. Don’t miss the PPMEA Young Musicians Showcase Sunday at noon when several local kids will perform and when we will be awarding this year’s grant!

Our Friend and Founder Michigan Mike

Our friend and festival founder Michigan Mike Torpie was a college radio DJ in Michigan when caught his ear, prompting him to follow the band as its unofficial videographer and eventually move to Nederland. He had been booking and promoting shows in Nederland for several years and even had a mini-festival in 1996 in Chipeta Park when he decided to start NedFest in 1999. He recruited several friends to help with the big project, a couple of whom are still on the NedFest board to this day. Through 13 years of festivals he paved the way and learned many lessons that have made it possible for the rest of us to carry on and keep the spirit of live music in Nederland alive. We are the Friends of Michigan Mike! 4 2017 Nederland Music and Arts Festival Our PPMEA and NedFest Staff: Rob Savoye PPMEA President, Permitting, Security, and Medical Coordinator Jeffrey Swift PPMEA Board, Hospitality Coordinator Deb D’Andrea PPMEA Board, Vending Coordinator Marc Latiolais PPMEA Board, Back Stage Manager Danielle Laramie PPMEA Board, Artist Relations Kristen McFarland Talent Buyer, Graphics Suzanne Teele Merchandise Manager Nichole Elmore Box Office Manager Tanya Bokat Kids Tent Coordinator Mark Errante Website Developer Steven McMillian Zero Waste Amanda Kneer Bookkeeping

Oteil’s Birthday Bash In the long tradition of super groups at our festival, this year multiple Grammy-winning bassist of Dead & Company and will be leading a truly epic ensemble. First of all, he has invited Hammond master Melvin Seals of Melvin Seals and JGB. Then he’s called on guitarists John Kadlecik of Furthur and , and Ian Neville of Dumpstaphunk. For drums and percussion he has picked the awesome of RatDog, Furthur, Primus, Golden Gate Wingmen (and more), and Weedie Braimah of The Nth Power. On vocals, Lyle Divinsky of The Motet will be joined by Alfreda Gerald, whose range is so broad she sang with both the London and New York Philharmonic Orchestras and toured with . Top it all off with the Band horn section consisting of Jennifer Hartswick and Natalie Cressman and boy have we got a one-of- a-kind night you won’t want to miss! Special thanks to Justin at MusicMarauders for making this a reality! The Motet

There have only been a couple of bands over the years that have gone from playing at 1:00 in the afternoon at NedFest to being headliner material, and this is one of them. The Motet played our very first fest in 1999 and 11 more times after that, more than any other band in our history. We are so proud to be part of their history and even more proud that they will be returning at the top of the bill! The Motet began in 1998 in Denver, Colorado, where the band’s then-rotating cast of musicians amassed an enthusiastic and loyal throng of hometown fans. The Motet took their infectious dance parties on the road about four years ago, and their national fan base has been growing exponentially ever since. Today their shows sell out from coast to coast at iconic venues Red Rocks Amphitheatre, The Fillmore in San Francisco, Tipitina’s in New Orleans, Brooklyn Bowl, Chicago’s Park West, Portland’s Crystal Ballroom, and in Atlanta. A favorite along the festival circuit, The Motet has performed at Bonnaroo, Electric Forest, Summer Camp, , High Sierra Music Festival, Peach Fest and many others.

Bridging the gap between retro, , and soul while keeping a focused eye on the future of funk, The Motet blasts off with their latest single, Supernova. The recent addition of singer Lyle Divinsky, who joined the band in 2016, fans the flames of this already hot band. His sinfully soulful voice and rich lyrics are powerfully prevalent throughout Supernova and light up the performances of this 7-piece funk powerhouse. The Motet are Lyle Divinsky (vocals), Dave Watts (drums), Joey Porter (keyboards), Garrett Sayers (bass), Ryan Jalbert (), Gabriel Mervine (trumpet), and Drew Sayers (saxophone).

Euforquestra

This band is hard to describe but if you mixed an afro-cuban band and an old time big band and a funky band…you would have Euforquestra! They have a huge sound with a group of excellent musicians that play incredibly tight riffs and changes that impress even the best in the business. The band has 5 great albums, the most recent produced by of the String Cheese Incident. They have been getting audiences dancing their butts off for over a decade now, playing their first NedFest all the way back in 2007. They have toured extensively, and have even hosted their own festival called Camp Euforia 2017 for 14 years back in Iowa where the original core of the group started.

14 2017 Nederland Music and Arts Festival Kyle Hollingsworth Band As a member of acclaimed jam masters The String Cheese Incident, Hollingsworth is revered by both peers and fans for his ability to write and perform in a mosaic of styles, from rock to classical, ragtime to bebop. Those who’ve seen SCI know that they can jerk from funk to bluegrass on a chord change. “In the jam world, where there are no set ways of doing things, we’re not afraid to move in and out of genres,” he says, “and because of that I’ve learned to be creative, not only onstage but in the studio.” While his versatility and quick-study nature have become his signature skills with SCI, they have also proved tremendously helpful on stage during collaborations with many major acts, including Paul Simon, , , Little Feat, and banjo master Bela Fleck. One summer he toured with in a band that also included , John Molo, and Warren Haynes. In the summer of 2008 he spent the summer touring with the Band. This group featured Mickey Hart,George Porter, Steve Kimock and many others. In another amazing highlight, Kyle also toured with Mike Clark in a band that starred nearly all the original Head Hunters. A Nederland favorite, Kyle has played NedFest almost half of it’s many years. Genetics Genetics is a five piece band that creates a new and unique sound while encompassing a large variety of genres. The band was founded in 2010 in Grand Rapids, MI by guitarist, Jeff Ervine and drummer, Nathaniel Snow. In the summer of 2012 they decided to move the project to Colorado, where they were then joined by bassist, Joel Searls in 2012 and guitarist/ vocalist, Stanton Sutton (formerly of Mountain Standard Time) and Phil Johnson (formerly of Jet Edison) in 2015. With the recent addition of vocals and new material, they have found a massive sound. They have made quite an impact over the last few years, not only playing various music festivals, but also opening for acts like George Clinton and Parliament Funkadelic, as well as members of Big Gigantic, String Cheese Incident, Lotus, and The Motet. The band takes the stage at our late night venue, The Caribou Room at 10:30 pm on Friday, August 25th. Admission is free with your wristband, otherwise $15 Caribou Mountain Collective

Nederland’s favorite local bluegrass band, this hometown treasure is a multi-award- winning traditional bluegrass outfit with incredible skill and chops that will knock you out. The band won the prestigious Rocky Grass Bluegrass Band competition in 2014 and dobro player Allen Cooke was awarded first place at the 2013 Rockygrass dobro competition. Bassist Curly Collins brings his remarkable stage presence and industry expertise from his five years with Mountain Standard Time. Guitarist Miles Perry masterfully embodies the mountain heritage in his catalog of original works. Their instrumental expertise shines through Miles' songs to present a captivating new approach to a classic sound. Great American Taxi Great American Taxi are a rock & roll classic, a timeless mixture of gutsy pop, calloused hand country, blue-eyed R&B, and bare-knuckle barroom chooglin’ with songs for the everyman and woman grinding out the working week and anxious to shuffle the day’s cares away. The inheritors of the good times- bad times mojo of Creedence Clearwater Revival, The Eagles, and Lowell George-era Little Feat, GAT are boogie rock champs with big beating hearts backed up by thousands of gigs and highway miles – real music for real people living each day as best they can, dreaming about Friday nights and scoring a few breaks in this wicked world. After some evolutionary changes, the core lineup now centers around Chad Staehly (keyboards, vocals), Jim Lewin (guitar, vocals), Brian Adams (bass, vocals) and newest member Arthur Lee Land (guitar, banjo, vocals) with guest drummer (, ) joining them on the group’s latest, strongest studio effort, Dr. Feelgood's Traveling Medicine Show, which was produced by ’s Tim Carbone. Since the departure of founding member Vince Herman (Leftover Salmon), the band has refined and expanded their vision of what Gram Parsons called Cosmic American Music, a deeply felt, gently groovy kind of Americana that one can down a pitcher of suds to while contemplating life, the universe, and everything. Colorado's own Will Trask has now signed on as their full time drummer.

Fletcher’s Grove Known for their high-energy shows, the band mixes pulsating bass lines, dual-guitar solos, and an eclectic percussion section that makes standing still nearly impossible. They focus on perfecting musical intricacy while creating seamless improvisation. Hailing from West Virginia, Fletcher’s Grove has captured the imaginations of thousands in the Mountain State and beyond. Working the festival circuit hard for a few years now, they have played All Good Music Festival, Hookahville, Highland Jam, Kind Roots, and Camp Barefoot The five-man-band is made up of Ryan Krofcheck (Vocals/Ryth. Guitar), Matt Marion (Vocals/Percussion), Wes Hager (/ Flute), Taylor Pratt (Bass), and Tommy Bailey (Drums). Aside from the music they grew up on, their music education and degrees have carried them throughout improvisational jams and intricate song writing. Throwing in heavy jazz rudiments and a diverse array of instruments from the mandolin to the flute. Stell and Snuggs with special guests Keith Moseley and Scot Messersmith Stell & Snuggs are Christel Astin (flute,uke,vocals) and Jarad Astin (accordion, stompbox, vocals). Old school Nederland Acid Jazz fans from back in the Michigan Mike days will remember Jared Astin as the awesome Hammond player (that actually used the pedals!) and Christel as the occasional special guest on flute. Well, they have been doing a world tour via sailboat as they have traded in their separate music careers and boldly joined, moving onto a sailboat and taking their music to oceans and islands. They’ve returned for a visit to Nederland and will be joined by our friend Keith Moseley, bassist for the String Cheese Incident, and percussionist Scott Messersmith, founding former member of the Motet and staple percussionist in many national and local ensembles. Stell and Snuggs have discovered a new dimension in the dynamic of a husband/wife band’s reason for being. Their acoustic gypsy-soul is a sound like no other.

18 2017 Nederland Music and Arts Festival Gasoline Lollipops

With their very original sound and music, this Colorado band has been steadily on the rise. They have snagged showcase spots at SXSW, earned 'Best Country Artist 2016' from Westword, and 'Best Band in Boulder' in the Colorado Daily's 2014 and 2015 polls. Denver’s Westword calls the band "a group that combines elegance with grit and a rambunctious intensity.” Lead singer Clay Rose will remind you of Chris Isaak but with an intense edge. Their music melds the sincerity of dirt-floor folk with the energy and rebelliousness of punk. It's an all- new incarnation of alt-country that’s both high energy and heartfelt, like the proverbial American highway's soundtrack. This band is touring this year with a fantastic new album, Resurrection, that debuted last winter to a sold-out audience at the Fox in Boulder.

2017 Nederland Music and Arts Festival 19 Malai Llama

Malai Llama is a Colorado-based experimental rock quartet who fearlessly creates an atmosphere of triumph and inspiration every time they hit the stage. Improvisation manifests in a variety of forms during a Malai Llama set, as the band weaves together the benevolent spirit, the technical rigor of prog-rock, and modern jazz performance. The band was officially formed in 2013 by longtime friends and bandmates Chris Cornwall (drums) and Steven Govanlu (keys, guitar, lead vocal) before they connected with Matt Flaherty (guitar, vocal) and John DeSousa (bass, trombone, vocal). The result was a palpable collective energy and a long-term vision for the future. In 2016, Malai Llama released their first full length LP ‘Out to Graze.’ The album was truly the product of the merging of each member’s musical stories and the cultivation of a sound all their own. Inspired by artists like Karl Denson’s Tiny Universe and Medeski Martin & Wood, each track features dynamic song structures and lyricism meant to galvanize crowds to embody exploration and confidence. ‘Out to Graze’ was simply the springboard for the band’s songwriting, as they continue writing vigorously between gigs.
