I’ve eyed it up the past couple of years and this year it looks doable, if I skip Yarmony Grass, which seems more likely with each passing day. I was thinking of hitting up a campground (Kelly Dahl, maybe?) and doing the full weekend. In the past, I’ve read mixed reviews about the promoters and the fest itself, so I figured I’d solicit some opinions 'round these parts before going all in.
Well I’ll be there. I am experiencing serious withdrawal from the lack of Stage Stop shows though. I am ready to get back in to some good music with my good friends in the Rollinsville/Ned area!
NedFest is hit-and-miss for me, but that is also because many
of the “jam bands” Michigan Mike (the promoter) books simply
bore me. Grisman, Larry Keel, Swing Set and a couple of others
will have me attending at least the Sunday portion.
I think Sam Bush played last year.
I had a strange virus though (upper respiratory/vocal chord thing)and couldn’t shake it in time.
I would love to see David Grissman but other than that, I think the line up is a little weak for me.
I think I’m going to head up there for the Sat/Sun shows. Looks like a good time and I have a buddy who lives in Ned so I got a close place to crash.
